I also hold both but for the record - more FWR.

this is a result of chagig my portfolio after last years ugly OT takeover. I read your points with interest as you justify OT's efforts to increase shareholder value by trying to takeover FWR. That says a lot about both companies.

You also state you don't mind the lack of information available to the retail investors "for the time being". This has been the case since the takeover and the immediate dropping of the Agoracom board. How long is "for the time being"?

I hope both do well as all of us will prosper but their is no reason to combine the 2 companies at this point as FWR are doing a great job of proving up resources, letting us know , and increasing shareholder value as reflected by the market.

All IMHO
