No Smoke Without Fire

There is still the odd rumour flying around about takeovers and mergers. Nothing I can confirm just yet. One rumour keeps getting denied, despite the fact that it keeps showing it's head. I published another rumour on Twitter last week which was then denied by the company's owners...which to be honest I would prefer as it clears uncertainty up.

However, I'm a believer of no smoke without fire. For these rumours to have come about there must have been some scrap of truthful information for them to be established. Rumours don't just spring out of nowhere!

Of course some hearsay will be false, but I think a degree of it will be true. I am asking questions of people to try and decipher what is true and what isn't. What is clear is that we won't have seen the end of big company acquisitions.
