This stock has had the %$#@ beaten out of it for the last two years and particularly over the last few days. NOT picked a fight and the other fighter is taking shots at NOT and has the resources to do it. The biggest weakness that Cliff's may have is that they were too cheap on their offer and it may cost them some, but right now NOT isn't looking very good either on the surface because of what I consider to be carelessness and an overestimation of what they think they can do with their NRs, particularly when they are sloppy with their reporting. Couple the above with the sp manipulation that is going on in both directions involving both companies and you've got a nasty affair. I don't know what is going on with the long term game plan but it sure is hurting in the short term and I think NOT could have played their game much better. But then they could prove me wrong any time with something unforeseen. Lots of angry people right now as we witness another squeeze. I , like others, don't like who may be picking up in these times, mind you the volume of NOT today is nothing to really take note about though someone(s) have moved to take advantage of these opportunities. We certainly don't and haven't had any governing bodies that were ever able/willing to do anything about it to meet my satisfaction which is simply my opinion.
