Len: What happened to this thread? Everyone sell and move on?

I see the price is up to 34 7/8 only 1/8 between the market and the offer. I'd say that is an indication that the deal goes through this time on the 14th.

Now do I give up the 1/8th and sell or tender or do as Jaz suggests and hold for more...ummmmmmmmmmm.

Any thoughts Len, anyone??? Hello???
