This has been on my mind also and I just don't see warren's point other than getting even with retail. He'll lose money, hopefully he'll lose the proxy, and I guess he'll want to save some pride and try and devalue our worth along with his. I don't see any sign of him being humble anytime soon.
This will all play out in time because this fight for control and the winners will have the advantage. I am sure many here have picked up more shares. I doubled my portfolio in the last couple of weeks even though things appear to be bleek so I averaged down considerably. This makes us stronger and from what I have seen here so far, we are not to be sidelined or silenced by hedgefunds now or in the near future.
As far as Sprott and Pinetree buying up these shares, who knows? There are probably more things happening behind closed doors right now than I care to guess at.
