Here is a scenario that I’ve thought of but have never posted to any BB.

Put yourselves in AE’s shoes. He’s told by prominent professionals from various companies that this Albany graphite is outstanding and very valuable. So now for the past 6-12 months, he’s been working on getting the utmost value for his deposit. This is a very complicated procedure with many NDA’s, tests, reports, meetings, offers, advise, etc. While he wants to get the most pay-out per share (after all he has 5 million of them) the day to day business of obtaining the best buy-out keeps him quite occupied. To fret over the opinion of share holders and other minor investors doesn’t fit into his daily schedule. He’s not worried about any of that because he knows in the long run, it’s a pay day for everyone. Would you really care what the Chief or anyone else was saying when there’s a line of people at your door with their checkbooks out?

Just sayin.......................
