    TTH,

    I'm putting something together out of these snippets.

    Whilst it needs some chronological order and detail here are points I found interesting.

    1/PRT underwrite DES Rights issue
    2/ T4P call DES a sell.
    3/ ANZ are advisers to, and shareholders of PRT
    4/ Opes Prime fails and ANZ ends up with 27 million Des Shares.
    5/Des shares dumped on market.
    6/Continuous selling pressure keeps DES below the 10 cent right Issue Price.
    7/Acceptance day for RI passes and sellers dry up.
    8/ Prime acts on its increased power and installs new directorship

    Then we have an Email from T4P go out 28/4/2008 first two paragraphs read

    “ It's NOT often you get to know
    about a takeover in advance,
    but today is one of those days”.

    “Prime WILL make a takeover
    offer for Destra this week.”

    {Pretty strong stuff from a respected analyst. I wonder how you do get to know of a takeover in advance? }

    Then the following day a second T4P email calls it unlikely and adds

    “It's now back to 12 cents,
    - but Prime will want it lower
    before they step up.”

    {Well I hope not, because Prime are now calling the shots for Destra}

    Now I'm not suggesting any wrong doing but gee you could certainly throw some theories around.

    Anything else? Opinions? etc

    PS Decided not to ring the company just yet, as I think I'll follow sucessions lead first.
