There is always the possibility of what you suggest. I for one is for a buy out. It then is not up to Fred or any one else to decide what we do with what ever comes to us. The name of the game is making money. For those that bought at 2 cents and bought plenty, its a home run with the bases full. to others its we got even or made a bit. Either way I'd still take the buy out. 15 plus years is long enough wth any company.
