    In terms of CUK thread quality, this is probably in the upper decile.

    Well done, there's few better feelings than "free" money.

    Although I don't look for them, so far I've benefited for mergers/takeovers four times in the past year, yielding some tidy profits. Baxalta (US), Syngenta (CH), Actelion (CH), and ARM (UK). Actelion R&D is going to be spun off as a separate company running by the Actelion founders. Might be a good company to invest in. Not sure that J&J will be such a good punt.

    No. I wouldn't claim to be an expert. But possibly quite lucky.

    That's NOT dirty spekulation, but a wise investment - well done!
