Very nice summary and detailed thoughts about the process. I earlier had suggested that one option of a deal would be payments over time. It was just a thougt and here you have gone way out with details and reasoning far beyond my hunch. I am making a note of this for future reference and have learned a new word about dealing in stocks,``operative``. Thank you very much. If lucky enough those of us on another forum of Agoracom may get to use the info to our advantage.
