I may really have picked the bottom for AMP Limited.

My lowest entry price was AUD 0.865 and have averaged up since.

Pretty happy with that timing which I have been trying to hone the timing skill for the longest time.

There has been rumour on the market that AMP Capital had been approached by a bevy of suitors for its soon to de-merged arm Collimate Capital .

The first name that came up is a familiar name to Singaporean - CapitaLand.

Then EIG was mentioned too.

Then, just today AFR reported that ESR Cayman - the company that is listed in Hong Kong and had just acquired ARA Asset Management is in advance talk with AMP Capital.

Possible Setup:

To recap

• AMP is keen to make Collimate independent,

• around Collimate multiple suitors are dancing,

• Collimate knows that it has to be independent or be married off,

• for AMP had set the timeline running and the clock ticking,

• suitors want to have the bride,

• but no one is certain of the price to pay,

• like an auction, may the highest bidder win,

• always a chance that others would put in a higher bid,

• AMP is keen to see off the bride,

• marrying off is the best choice for AMP,

• for the dowry comes back to AMP,

• rather than risking Collimate to be independent,

• and not getting anything back,

• but if everything fails,

• at least AMP is rid of Collimate,

• she shall be independent and no longer feed off AMP

• Collimate will then be free to ask her price

• if the price is too high, and no suitors arrive…

• but if at the right price, all suitors will be there,

• fighting, kicking to get into view,

• for the beautiful Collimate would once be up for grabs,

• from the suitors like CapitaLand, EIG, ESR Cayman and many more
