would be to wait for the economy to crash, which many feel is immanent. Even if there are a few would be buyers they could all easily feel comfy in waiting for it before they make the bid to motivated/devastated shareholders who just want out before things get really sticky. Never stand in front of a frightened herd.
Gotta ask yourself, why is someone working so diligently to keep this sp boxed in and locked down? Does anyone think that their sentiments haven't been monitored along with expectations of sale numbers? That's an easy group to spook under the right conditions.
