Fine post, Reb. Thanks.

As I read through it it became tangentially obvious to me that an inherent risk I hadn't considered before, at least not very seriously, was the stability of world affairs and how much the continued success of any international is influenced and fostered by same. Bob and Co will need to continue to pick their landing points carefully in this respect. Dropping off in Western Europe is one thing, but landing in many other venues, elsewhere, could require some doing with the locals to ensure long term viability matters are assured. Just some thoughts. Certainly, not intended to spook anyone, but legitimate issues I've been exposed to in this business in the past.

What we are left with
is a “merger, but not a merger.”

If you have ever been a USW customer this would make perfect sense, but to the investment world they do not seem to be able to handle it.
Two companies, one that everybody wants and one that nobody wants.

All the posts I read here and at Gildertech are defending the deal instead of being excited and looking forward. The market reflects this. Not every merger is good.
