Doug while you are answering post # 15266 let me also add that the issue here is not only for a telco to buy NN for themselves but also to keep NN from the competition. NN added to any competitors menu becomes a force to be reckoned with. So I think there is a double potential in NN buy out speculation. back later, TA

Tunica: When a Company is up for sale, the Arbitrageurs are the ones who are willing to carry the risk once the terms are decided. Therefore prior to the actual take over, the sellers are selling to the Arbitrageur. The difference between the official price and the trading value is the risk premium that one pays the Arbitrageur. That risk premium is usually less than 5-7%. Kindly note that the CEO of NT has confirmed that NT is not interested in NN. ALA and ERICY have said the same earlier.
