Reply to: There's ARM less then.

A non-story like when the mini brand was sold to BMW?

BMW also own the Triumph car brand.

A few years ago they touted around a new design for a brand new Spitfire...There's irony for you

If you had half a brain you would be able to work out that having control has nothing nothing to do with actual policies. The UK has agreed that investors are welcome from any part of the world. You seem to think that having control equals shutting off the rest of the world. it does not.

It is nothing to do with him. Presumably he sold it and made a packet - he is hardly in a position to deny others the same privilege.

ARM chip designer to be bought by Japan's Softbank - BBC News

And the last bit of silver gets sold off.

For dear old Freako, this relates to the sale of ARM Holdings to the Japanese.

Oh Dear(tm).

Looks like that was Another Good Idea then.

Not really. I bought them to hold for at least 15 years.

£7.01 per share. That's right. I bought a largish number of shares, so made a tidy profit. Not enough to retire on, but a nice little boost to the retirement fund.

My ARM shares were "free" - had them since Acorn closed down and did a share swap.

That wouldn't be happening anytime soon would it? Just asking like.

I'm sure he would find some way of continuing his mod duties, far into retirement

[scooterscot]

Would never want to retire. But then I don't really consider myself to be working.

Reckon I've got at least five more years yet. So don't get your hopes up.

Major EU nations like Germany and France would never allow a foreign purchase of a major strategic company. You a Brexit fanatic have no problem with it. Makes me wonder exactly what yokels like you mean when you wrap yourselves in the union jack and start frothing 'Take back control...'

First of all I am not a Brexit fanatic. You are making lazy assumptions that Brexiters are "wrap yourselves in the union jack and start frothing" types suits the narrative of the Remainers who lack any real counter arguments to the Brexit POV. "Taking control" for those of you who really do not understand English does not mean closing borders and wrapping yourself in a National flag. I can see pros and cons of allowing foreign companies to buy up key assets in the UK. I happen to think on balance fair enough as the climate of business it creates is to encourage entrepreneurial activity. Clearly it has its downsides such as entrusting foreign companies to build Nuclear power plants etc.

You do not really have any understanding of why people voted to leave the EU do you?

It IPOed which generally means he made a packet.

If only I'd bought those Acorn shares at 2p back in the day.

Rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

But would you be happy?

As for Sophie (s)he went on to create Acorn Replay. Now that is tech that the US and everyone else still has not beaten. Pity you need Acorn Kit (and lots of it) to take advantage. Anyone got it running on a raspberry pi yet?
