<edited>Hi all - happy X'mas. Regarding rumor, I ve no problem if it is to my advantage <VBG>, even though I don't start any and I won't fan any. But seriously, I think there is rumor and there is rumor. I habitually ignore rumor especially about fallen stocks. To look closer, there is also the strength of rumor. If a company is in a niche with something to offer, the chance is higher. By that I mean unique products [especially with strong copyrite and/or patent protection] or installed base. The interesting thing is that takeover has a life of its own. Once a company is in play, it tends to be play until it happens. Self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe. As far as VARL is concerned, I think VARL has the strength to be an independent company. However, if people realise this, there is a good chance for them to push the door open! Face it, that is how them M&A people make their living.
Personally, I think VARL would do a lot more by splitting the stock. No, I am not one of those silly folks who would chase after stocks about to split. However, in VARL case, it does help to ensure some liquidity remain at the retail level, even if institutions are moving in
best, Bosco |
