I am reading backward and do not know the root of this or other discussions being carried on today, BUT any speculation of a Major making a buy out offer in the low double digit dollar value range is, in my opinion, a waste of time. There will not be any buy out offers until a few key issues/events have been wrestled to the ground. I feel very secure in thinking one of the bigger issues that will result in an key event are now well into closing range. What the details and actual final result will be is not known at present and the nature of the issue(s) makes learning any thing of substance respecting it(them) very difficult to specify. However, speculation on it can take on very broad proportions. Just the nature of that particular BEAST! When these non Assay related issues have been dealt with sufficiently, to the reasonable satisfaction of the various parties likely involved, we should learn more. We likely will start the "learn more" process with a substantial boost in SP. And news on the matter some time following the SP boost. This news may not follow in a day or two but its existence will be indicated by the SP boost. Sorry to say, but Assay results will not necessarily give much more than a nominal boost or simply provide support for the SP if the REAL NEWS is not close to being within secure grasp in the next week or two. Thus, sit back, relax, take in your favorite team while they are still in contention (so long as they are NOT based in Ottawa), and maybe do as I am trying to do more of, which is get back on track with other matters in life. Old Joe PS: If my team bites the dust in the next few weeks I may decide to be a little more Brassy for a while, but even my team is looking good now!!! And though my profile says Boston (I liked) my childhood team was always the best of all teams. No one needs telling of who that is! However, SJS looks good going forward??? time to Motor no now!
