Was saying I sold ALZ a few months ago at $3.82 or so. This was after Mirvac or GPT made a failed takeover offer in December. I made the sale knowing that, or at least was expecting, some other offer will be coming... i figured the upside of a new offer wouldn't be more than 10 or 15% above $3.80 and it could be a long while and there's a couple of opportunities i saw that i thought would be better.
The first reinvestment did very well within a couple of weeks, but has now gone back to a return of around 12%, the second opportunity I missed out because the price got back up before i could buy... so I'm holding a cash position and a 12% return from the ALZ sales where I could have gained an extra around 28% if i had held it.
4 years and my ALZ adventure has ended, 2 (part) parcels from 2010 sold today for $4.56 ~ trade profit of 95.6% with dividends to many to mention but would bump the total return up to about 125%
I doubt Stockland will counter and will be more inclined to take the profit on their 20% of ALZ, im Moving on to Veda.

Given that Stockland paid around $3.80, with the offer price (dividend and prorata div included in the offer), they are up nearly $1.00 per share on their 19.9%. from memory about $380 million. Hard call for Stockland.
Do they add a few more shares and block the other bidder?
Do they walk away from their offer and sell their stake on market or into the offer, taking a hefty profit? or
Do they wait four weeks to see if the offer is confirmed then continue with due diligence?
I would be amazed if they came back with a higher offer given their original offer was already at a premium and the competing offer is so much higher.
