Given the recent loss of Don's wife Anne & some of the comments like the trial can wait a bit,Don has possibly been out of sorts for months now while he cared for his loving wife, the family has been broken etc... so let's cut Don some slack right now while he & his family take the time they need to heal.
These are all totally understandable, caring & loving thoughts/comments & well deserved but the market is shrewd & has very little sympathy in this regard. In many cases they look at a tragedy as a time to pounce or make moves that have zero emotion involved & can be morally disturbing for many & rightfully so but irregardless it happens.
Most shareholders don't even know the McCaffrey family & to be quite honest only care about their investment.
This is a public company on the cusp of something potentially huge & the market expects the company to adjust & continue on with operations etc while others take the time they need to mourn,reflect, sit in prayer etc etc.
This whole situation/tragedy brings me back to statements Don made regarding the Pharma who wanted to step in with 100-150 million & a five year timeframe to completion & get it done right which was supposedly turned down. Guessing, but Don prob knew of this min 6months ago,possibly quite longer.
Maybe most importantly IF we had taken the deal & tragedy fell upon the RVX family during this timeframe we would have had a small army in place to forge ahead while others healed. God forbid something happens to Don or his health turns bad especially if this tragedy is paralyzing the company at this time.
I know I have been quite critical of Don & management & some probably feel I'm coming across cold hearted but I can honestly tell you there hasn't been a day gone by since I heard this sad news that I haven't taken the time to sit quietly & pray for Anne & the McCaffray family.
I'm of the belief that Anne is watching over her family now as an ancestor & will guide & protect her family to the fullest.
Love & understanding
