The stock market report

I have to admit I relished reading the stock market report in the The Times today as it was written by the deputy city editor, Simon English. Here is a link:

Zurich smoked out - part 2

Bryce Elder's comments about Zurich's takeover of RSA aired on FT Alphaville's markets live this morning made me chuckle - he really is a witty writer (well, much more amusing than me, at least).

One thing, though, Bryce hasn't touched upon, yet, is Dunbar and whether the RSA board has taken a hard look at Zurich's former banking arm in the UK.

The Flying Scotsman is on fire...

It's a shame the boys - Bryce Elder and Paul Murphy - over at FT Alphaville's markets live have decided to take the summer off as they would have been able to bask in the glory of having another one of their stories confirmed.

US-based Shenandoah Telecommunications Company has finally announced it's buying Ntelos for $9.25 a share - exactly the same price Bryce Elder, who recently broke the story about Zurich weighing a £5 billion bid for RSA, mentioned in his scoop back in May.

Back on Tip TV talking about Shire, InterContinential Hotels Group and RSA

It's a Monday, so here is a link to today's session on Tip TV.

(p.s. ignore the headline on the clip as it's a bit out of date because Tip TV are moving onto a new website platform).

Zurich smoked out

Great to see old school stock market reporting (with a new school digital twist) from Bryce Elder at the Financial Times smoke out a FTSE 100 takeover bid. Surely it's time for a pay rise, Ed.

In case you weren't aware how this played out, here is a link to Bryce's market report:
