Lhn5, The plight described in your post by the individual (who I thought was you, based on your intro - was it?) is not uncommon. Individuals in power, those in the well appointed mahogany offices at the upper crust of elitism, often create an aura of mystique and separate existence from those who are merely mortal. To some of them, humanity is a field to be harvested, not listened to. As one whose livelihood takes me to within earshot of decision makers in large financial institutions I come across this routinely. I was recently told about a similar situation to your poster's travails where a multi-billion dollar cable takeover deal on the other side of the pond, which has proved to be a train wreck, could have been avoided had the principals of the underwriting firm taken the time to listen to one very informed source doing inside baseball with the sellers. The underwriting firm just shrugged it off as one of those that got away, and will very likely its bet hedged and will leverage the outcome of the deal in other ways. FAC
