"If this is all just to re-negotiate a contract, christ, what a ham-handed way to operate. If they wanted to do that, they should just say, behind closed doors, "we want to renegotiate or you don't get your permit". That wouldn't be the best thing, but I could live with it. Then the stock might go back up, I might break even and never touch Vz again."

Maybe because they wanted to drive the sp down, that way Kry not only has pressure from Vz. to come to an agreement but also from the shareholders. Last week I still thought I would make a nice profit from this, now I would be in favor of any deal that would get me out without losing my shirt. I would guess there are a lot of others who feel the same.
