Well, it's a pretty skimpy offer, though I shouldn't complain about a 30% gain in less than a month. But now I am going to look at Hunt Oil.

I guess I have had some luck today. I was run out of my office by electricians who were rewiring all the outlets and also th LAN was down and I was using a modem. So I came home and ate lunch. Upon logging in I found BKP was trading at 11 or so, ten percent above the buyout. Since I had bought the shares this morning in my IRA I was able to sell them at an 18% profit despite not getting a good price at the opening. I am still holding those in my cash account, hoping for some way to turn them into long term capital gains. But that won't happen unless another company moves in on BKP and offers a stock swap. I had meant this as a PM but don't want to hunt-and-peck it all out again.
