Rightmove made the wrong move, says Russell Quirk

REA withdrew its interest in Rightmove this week, following a series of bids that eventually topped £6bn. The thing is, Rightmove is only worth £4.5bn, according to the City, and so why did shareholders shun the Australian business?

Renowned property commentator Russell Quirk believes that Rightmove shareholders will regret not doing this deal, and has accused them of potentially acting in their own best interests rather than Rightmove shareholders. Do you agree?

    When is the average shareholder ever better off without dividends? It’s obvius the decision to keep taking advantage of dopey estate agents, paying £2000 a month for a £200 a month product , is too hard to let go.
