QuakesI know that you are just a hard-working investor with a sizeable position in FCU.
A lot of people are saying that you work for FCU investor relations. I know that is not true for one simple reason. Several months ago you talked about a bridge presentation that FCU had posted. You crafted a large inference around what "bridge" could mean regarding acquisitions etc. Any investor relations person, or exec for that matter, knows that a bridge presentation is one that is intended to be given over a Conference Bridge telephone. They are found in most boardrooms. Presentations given over a bridge need to be handled differently than one given in person.
Anyways, I think you are doing a bit of a disservice to FCU and perhaps losing some credibility you deserve by trying to maintain an impartial undecided stance on the merger. There are no secret deals being talked about behind the scenes. It is what it is. There is no strategic advantage to this merger. It is merely an attempt at asset protection by some DML investors who are trying to pull in this great FCU resource.
I honestly think Dev thinks this is the best way to move forward for FCU. Perhaps that is due to a lack of interest from majors. Sometimes patience is the key to success, not scrambling to join the has-beens of the world. I do hope they reconsider this merger decision because they were an amazing team to own a part of these last few years.
