RE: Another Down Day

Whew! Actually picked up a boatload of Spartan on Friday. If I were Irish I'd say it was luck, but I am not so I'll say it was circumstantial, by tax loss selling PRY while paying a small premium for STO. Looks like the market had the premium right.

Now I am ambivalent. The $12.5 million payment to PRY will help defray some of the recently expended capital budget and force it back to the growth strategy. I just hope they don't bid up the competing offer too much, could dilute my PRY position. At the same time this process will have put PRY on the radar and there could well be a bid for PRY...matter of fact why didn't the STO bidder go that route?

Interesting to say the least.
