TO THOSE WHO LOST OR BROKE EVEN ON THE TENDER: Be thankful! Be very thankful that Senor Slim became a play in the CPU game. He gave us all a 4 point bump, that might have taken a year for CPU to do on its own -- assuming it got lucky. I made a 45% return in 5 months. So thank you Mr Slim and I hope you fire that incompetant SOB Halpirn.

Slim didn't screw anyone. The BOARD didn't screw anyone. It was their fiduciary duty to accept a offer that was a large premium over recent prices. The market doesn't give a rat's ass what anyone paid in the past. People talking about their break-even point need to understand that no one cares except them. Looking for scapegoats for investment mistakes is an exercise in futility. I paid $14. It was a mistake. Get over it.
