"Well, Gloria looked me in the eyes and...I have not heard the announcement of A or B..."
I appreciate your attempt to add a little drama to your story, but have to ask why you withhold this public information?
Apart from that your ignorance regarding my two questions is very telling:
"So, Mr. Caplan, as I said yesterday, let's do the vice-versa-dance (and of course you have to anwer as well with a simple "Yes" or "No")
1. Did you buy all your shares on the open market?
2. Do you have any connection with TPL/Leckrones regarding your current activities (shareholder support for your BoD candidacy etc.)?"
Is your answer to these questions missing because you are a "REAL business person"...?
TIA
