With the couple of deals I've been through, it appears that the retail shareholders are never considered nor satisfied. Just herded into the abbatoir.

Given that the majority shareholders are normally institutions and insiders, theirs are the interests that are addressed.

If the institution/account manager can double his investment, that is one big feather in their cap, and the sooner the better.

Doubling our investment in SLI probably wouldn't be acceptable to most of us here. But it is a possibility. Just saying..............., a Shareholder Protection Plan is for all shareholders and not just the retail guys, our targets could be far apart.

A poison pill guarantees nothing, stay on you toes.
