Anyone else see a link to the release 3 weeks ago..

What was the need to send out the overly negative toned letter three weeks back. They knew at that time the deal was being done. There was no need to say anything..unless they wanted to rape a few more retailers of their shares. If they said nothing they would still be sitting at .075 cents without the huge drop to as low as .045 that shook out MILLIONS of shares. Their previous release was May. You dont think they could have just waited 3 weeks to release the deal. They wanted 1 last play on the retail holders. imo the BOD is making big on this deal on the backs of the many who have been with this company for about 5x as long as them...sad but true. Someone may want to bring that up at the rubber stamp meeting.

Bail, a gut wrenching revelation from TST Management/BOD for sure...re: MCNA a non asset. Timely (for the acceptance of this deal) and EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE/ SUSPECT. rg

Telesta chairman James Rae. This offer represents a significant premium to Telestas share price since February, 2016.* February 2 was a really bad day for sure.** Closing at 9cents. But, "the day the music died" was August 2. Low of 3.5 cents closing at 4.5 cents. The devil is in the details. August 2 announcement...inevitable or opportunistic? Time will tell. But what timeframe Mr. Rae? ...more
