the S. shares are almost gone. The last Q did not mention a # for them. Perhaps the biggest reason for our SP decline is so that he can get out at a pre-set date. Schroder's options start vesting the 17th of next month--an announcement that S. shares are gone and that CJ resigns would do wonders for our SP--then the media blitz can begin. IMHO, the foundation of M&A is underway. You have to have hope--WHY stay invested if you don't? There are much better ways to spend your time. GL, ads
