Hi all, just wondering if anyone is following this company??? I've had a look for the CWN - Crown Limited discussion but there doesn't appear to be any in the forums.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this stock as long term and whether the SPP at $4.95 per share (max. $5K) is a goer??

On second look i think the correction is a triple 3, zig zag, flat and triangle. In that case its likely price will test 7.50 again before continuing. Long term outlook is the same.
Packer's Cons Press last increased its Crown stake in October, and under the takeovers code is allowed to add up to 3 per cent of its holding in any six-month period without triggering the need to have a formal bid on the table.
That means Packer could legally take his holding in Crown above 50 per cent by October, making it a Cons Press subsidiary and having unchallengeable control. Normally that would mean a downgrading of the share price, because there is no premium for control - but any investor in Crown who was expecting a full and generous offer from a member of the Packer family would have to be an extreme optimist.
Has anyone seen this?

Still no info if the NSW Barangaroo Casino plan is going to go ahead, and what are the chances of a takeover of Echo? Regulatory hurdles galore in both instances?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I don't see a takeover of Echo happening. Packer just wanted it for the NSW licence held by The Star. But now the government is of the view that one licence means one premises, so the plan appears to be to end the exclusivity in 2019 and allow Packer to build his own in 2019.
The only way to get in a quick is to get Echo.Also, mate of mine just came back from Macau. He was very impressed with what's going on there and if Packer believes that the huge numbers of middle / upper middle class Chinese Gambling Tourists flocking our way (Sydney being preferred tourist spot based on the iconic bridge and opera house) then surely he wants to get in, and quick.
