If I am correct about an upcoming merger (and I know that is a big "if"), IMO that reduces the likelihood of a quick TDC stock flip (sellout) that seems to be of concern to everyone here. It would seem that with all the money being poured into both companies by Interinvest and B&S that they were setting up for an attempt at a long haul play. Otherwise, why not keep the companies separate and position for a 15+ cent TDC sellout? That would result in a neat 50% profit for them and a 50% haircut for many of us. The merger would just complicate that transaction I think. At least, the possibility exists that our goals are similar.
