RCMac, a premature takeover also seems to me to be a serious threat to our investment in SEPR reaching full potential. Even a 50% premium would be only $3 billion, which is nothing to a Merck or J&J (MRK's 3Q earnings out last Friday were $1.4 billion and their market cap is around $150 billion). What might block a takeover is that SEPR has its fingers in so many pies. Who wants to become the next "drug pirate"? Not Merck, for sure. Maybe J&J. But taking over all those patents involving so many big products would be such an aggressive move I doubt anyone with a standing in the industry would risk it.

The fact that SEPR's strategy is just not cricket might let us get through this vulnerable premarket stage as an independent company.
