ohh yeah, i forgot about that "the last talk of a buyout saw the shares leap to $30US..."and didnt look back at this thread LOL.
i havent kept track of the shares so dont really know what to expect but your probably right about the $20 price mark, perhaps a little lower, if the talk of more real cash is on the table, plus more sweetners and sundrys etc.
"One analyst said: 'Perhaps these groups are prepared to bankroll a transaction by using a greater cash sum than is usually the case.'"
another (and perhaps related and effecting their choices regarding the above)story.
