Wow! I haven't been on this thread for a while, and caught up on the last 150 or so msgs to get the take on the proposed sale. Now I tune in this AM after buying 200 sh. this AM at 43 5/8. It seems to me that there is a lot of disappointment with the open this AM. I would just like to interject that many members here seem to be more than a little impatient and need to wait for the market to digest this deal. Keep in mind Reuters couldn't even get right last night. This stock is going to be quite volatile for the next few days. Maya: just out of curiosity why would want to block a deal like this for less than $79? I'm in the market to make money and I've been assuming that everybody else's goal on this thread was somewhat similar ...
