Hi Mike,

"Craig, I never was able to get the trade on in a satisfactory way. It isn't as easy as buying Exxon and shorting Texaco back in days when The Bass Brothers were making a fake-out takeover of Texaco."

Are you saying that if you were running an appropriate fund or other massively resourced entity that you would have had no problem, and that as a smaller player you just couldn't play the game? If so, that's sad.

Craig
