Thank you, arlekino, for an excellent postMr. Lovecarats clearly has his own toxic axe to grind for some unique personal reason. Those of us who are long MPVD understand that GK is a world class property, which De Beers will want to have. The only question on the street is when De Beers will make a move on MPVD. The range seems to be sometime between one week and two months from now. As to takeover premium, there's not so much question. IMHO, the starting bid will have to be $6.50 minimum to get the Irish connection to the table. Looking forward to August and September.
