If people believed there was a plan for a buyout, public or private, wouldn't sp rise?  Shouldn't it be higher than it is right now? 

Currently there is a lot of potential news to bring us out of the duldrums.  Potential licenses are always exciting.  I am looking forward to a convincing rebuttle from TPL on the 148.  Merger/acquisition sound possible.  As SGE pointed out, we may find information in some of the J's financial reports sooner than our own.  Maybe we will hear about the status of the 584 in the near future.  And there is always the unknown piece that comes out of nowhere.  May it be glorious.
