The 64,000 dollar question, Miner, becomes "is SAN at war with our "major" SHs, who are, no doubt, interested in more than just capital gain, where deception is a key tool or in the process of a peaceful (friendly) TO (a deal may already be "in the bag!") where it's all on the table and deceit has replaced all efforts to increase SH value? (until the announcement!)
If all warfare is based on "deception," have the troops been turned on "peasant' SHs like you and I, with continued pressure, ie, downward SP, enticing capitulation. (sell!!)
Do you have the "feeling" we're being "outflanked?"
Traps, could it be that we're "behind the '8' ball?!"
"When money talks, the truth is silent!" Mark Twain
RUF
Of course, "without predjudicxe!"
With time and patience this speculation will pass, leaving in its wake a new class of "landowner," peasant SHs of SAN!
