Time is flowing as through an hourglass. It seems to me that the only (and surest) way to have the merger go ahead is to have the SP of NOT up far past the 4-1 offer. Might I be so bold as to respectfully suggest that Wes get his a$$ in gear and do that very thing? Give us a NR that will blow the markets socks off. Please don't wait until a few ddays before the deadline and throw out a hail-mary pass. If Wes is waiting till the last moment in order not to smoke out Cliffs, then ok, I guess that would be valid, but I for one would rather find out what their (Cliffs) position is- sooner than later. - But that is just me, and I really don't know how this type of game is played. Ill just stay tuned for the posturing to stop.
