Bought in to MAQ yesterday, took a small punt and got them at $7.75.
David Tudehope was on Switzer the other night and was questioned by him at the start of the interview about merges, which he didn't respond too with a yay or a nay, and at the end of the interview about a takeover to which he replied they weren't available and reasons why etc (8th minute of video Link: CEO of Macquarie Telecom, David Tudehope, talks about how and why he has resisted the urge to merge. (Broadcast Wednesday 14 October 2015.)). In between DT waffled on about some whizz bang customer service system, but the impression I got was he was really there to draw attention to the M&A potential of MAQ while saying they weren't available for MorA, i.e. politician speak. I notice VOC hold around 15% in addition to the Tudehope's 60%.
Still a good long term FF dividend paying hold whatever happens.
