Good info Hog, and don't forget, nobody had to wait that long. The day it was announced (Sept 03) the shares traded many many millions that day, and that's the day it hit the 52 week high @ $7.33 (over 10% higher than the offer)

This was a good story from our point of view, as they had more than 4.5 times the amount of shares outstanding than SLI has. And this was on a 2.5 Million OZ deal (plus silver, and future potential, etc) but, it sure makes our future look pretty bright IMO!
