Hello, I2. I sold all RML in my accounts this am. If I could quantify risk, I'd say there's a high probability of a profitable short in the stock now. (Stock at 18.28 vs. buyout price of 18.00.) I don't see a higher offer coming, and even if so, management/BOD likely would still choose to be with Mr. Buffett. Just may not be worth spending $18.28 to gain .28, unless stock drops more while waiting for deal to close 3rd quarter. That's iffy, given the assurance (Berkshire commitment) that the deal will proceed. ----- He'll maybe get some synergies by melding this company to his Fruit of the Loom company.
