Peppe: Its not Greenspan , or MM's causing the drop. It is simple market forces. ALA dropped overseas indicating their Investors are not happy. There is no other explanation that can be justified. In a share swap deal this drop will result in ALA having to further increase its offer per share. I doubt a cash deal is in the works with increasing Interest rates. I am also very surprised that ALA's Investment Bankers have not arranged to support ALA's stock price. This is often done thru their arbitrageur just before a deal is announced. Based on take over stats of mature Companies, the average (repeat average) offer if it is a unprotected share swap is 28% higher or 17% for cash.Prices are based on one day before the offer. These stats are based on Auditor back office data.
