Real Wiz or no, the issue of takeover is still a very real one. On an earlier post I cited the price repression as a possible manifestation of that interest. This week on radio, I heard a report of a company that was trading around 3.45 and received a takeover bid causing the SP to rise to 17 and change. Don't remember the company. I would personally not be happy with this as I'm expecting NOT to do much better than that over time. It is my hope that, with our most excellent financial wizards recently onboard, we would be able to maneuvre something more desireable. I trust that the spinoff company is in the works.
There is no question that we have been manipulated to keep the price down. Was it to keep it down until certain interests were able to buy in? ... or was it to slow the advance in SP so parties interested in takeover could prepare for that action? Someone knows, but I can only speculate.
