It looks like speculation of an offer, since UTS has voted down the latest offer.---With the size of our debt, I'd be very surprised if any decent type offer would be presented at this point.----If an offer was tabled, I doubt if anything decent would be put forth.---Large buying orders have been filled, so obviously I'm in the minority as far as my opinion is concerned.---The price surge may also be instigated by day traders, who may sell off later in the session.---Whatever.---I'm still holding the few thousand shares that I still retain, since I've already downsized my portfolio to a level which meant a large loss overall.--- CHEERS!!!
