That is unfortunate that your friend tendered her shares in my opinion.

After the third call from these charming people, I in no uncertain terms told them that they were not to give me another courtesy call hahahahahaha.

Logically, if this pathetic deal does not go through, which in my opinion it will not, I would think that the share price of ARU would go up.

This is because, it should be taken that present share holders have no real intention of selling at anywhere near this price. That is the way I would take it.

The fact that even though the TSX has plunged in the last 2 trading days, yet ARU has not been effected much tells me that there really are few sellers left in this stock.

In fact, if it were not for the end of day market manipulations in the last 15 minutes of trading or so, ARU would have been up.

This in my opinion can only bode well for future share price appreciation should favourable news be officially declared.

F.F.
