rjm2 Thanks for the comeback.<<Not sure how they go from 9.59% to 3.49% by selling only 11,000.>> I think they went FROM 3.49% TO 9.59%, but recently sold the 11,000. Bit of a twist there.
<<they have to sell some WHEN THEY CAN>>These micros can be roach-motel value trap for a bigger player unless someone buys the whole shebang.
What's the case for and against someone going for STRZ?
TIA,
bob
