G - It is fun to speculate. But I think we all can see (well most of us) exactly what AE and Crew are doing now. They are setting up ZEN to be purchased probably in a bid situation. And it seems this is now speeding up. I do not see us being around this time next year.
Not sure of the Mara situation but I did ask earlier why she has not been offered options like the other insiders. Maybe that is forthcoming. However she seems to be doing a bang up job so far.
Go ZEN.
