Given there was only buying pressure and not selling pressure after the announcement the market beleives that there is a silver lining to this announcement. If financing was the only option then they would have completed it (maybe at a lower value). I was in discussions with Europacific about participating in the financing and there was significant interest initially. IMO this announcement would have only come if a JV/buyout or other financial arrangement was finalized this week. I suspect we wil hear about it early next week and Jim was throwing informed/interested shareholders a bone with this release at weeks end.
