Titbits for the weekend

Apologies for the tardiness of this post but I have been attempting to gather some news today.

Anyway, I read with a keen interest the piece on the front page of Financial Times about Celgene's $7 billion acquisition of Receptos and the detail surrounding the sale process. I guess it helps back up the idea that perhaps I wasn't talking nonsense after all during some of those recent sessions on Tip TV.

Back on Tip TV talking about Aveva, Quindell, Receptos, Starwood and Tottenham Hotspur

It's a Monday, so I was back on Tip TV talking about deals, dealmakers and, er, a north London football club.

Here is a link to today's clip:

What a surprise: Receptos bought for over $7 billion

US pharma group Celgene last night agreed to pay more than $7 billion for Receptos, a biopharmaceutical company.

Now I realise Ed Hammond over at Bloomberg "broke" the story about a potential sale of Receptos several months ago - here is the link: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-01/receptos-said-to-get-takeover-interest-amid-partnership-talks
