<<I now understand your reasoning on a correction. ... I do not see book cooking or he would have sold. Maybe the next offer will not be as friendly though... maybe Greenspan will keep his rose colored glasses on for a couple years--- if he is able to see at all that far down the line...>> I also do not see book cooking - just an scenario currrently unforeseen to the naked eye. CEO R.T. owns/controls a majority of the shares so the hostile approach is highly unlikely....but maybe a little arm twisting and the realities of competition may "encourage" him to re-consider.
