Hi guys, I posted the following this morning on the other thread. There was a huge internal block trade at 9:37 by First Marathon. 799 000 shares at 8,25$ The highest volume this year was approximately 650K. After the financial post's article regarding the possibility of a takeover, the price reached a high of 9,10$. Since then, the price has been steadily dropping on light volume. In my opinion, the aforementioned block trade should raise a red flag. Can anyone enlighten me on this trade? PS: Most securities commissions require a filing if one purchases more than 10% of the outstanding shares. If I am not mistaken, the block represents a percentage of shares just under the required amount. Anyone have any comments? Thanks in advance Happy Trading I doubt that the purchaser will be Molson since they recently purchased 50% of their shares (23% market share) held by Fosters Brewing Group for 1 billion. (refer to the press release dated as of June 23 1998) A takeover bid will more likely come from Labatt Brewing Co., owned by Interbrew NV.
