Both opinions expressed have some merit although Ricardo did not really addressed my points. There are as you both know two ways to buy a company: the first is a tender offer at a certain price and the second, a rather unfriendly way, to buy shares in the market. If the tender offer is at or about the present price, the shareholders have not shown much interest in selling as one can surmise from the volume sofar. If on the other hand, the requiring firm uses the market the increase in the demand for the shares will result in an appreciation of the price. On this there are not any buts ot ifs. In fact, the present shareholders will assume that the requiring firm knows something that the shareholders do not. Presently, I like you, don't see a case of any tender offers. But things can change fast. For example, suppose that EDIG tells us that there is a number of OEM's interested in NUCHI or with a small change in the wording proposed by EDIG the patents are validated. Now, the landscape might change dramatically and a big boy might very well contemplate of getting these patents for a reasonable price- may be for zero cost. This is why we are all here for. At any rate our discussion have been fruitful.
