Re:Your all fools

Being new to this myself, all I can go by is the counsel of those experts who have gathered under our banner. I've been conversing with a number of these people, many of whom simply follow these sort of proceedings for love of the game. One, having served on three equity committees, was giving recommendations independently which matched completely with what we were doing internally. Having now been brought to the inside, his opinions of our operation remain favorable, his recommendations in line with our policy. Another, a bankruptcy lawyer, calls this the 'one in a hundred' case. And no one can argue the fact that approaching the court with over 17% of the outstanding stock in under two weeks is unheard of. So pessimism which cites no sources, for a movement which seems to have few or no parallels, in a circumstance entirely unique, does not much alter my thinking.

The opposition is a little more standardized. What we face is something called "The Credit Suisse Loan to Own." Yes, that's an actual term on Wall Street this past couple years, including the firm's name. As our movement is somewhat unique, measuring our chances is difficult on that basis. But the "CSL2O" is a bit more standardized a product, and measured on that basis, I like our chances better than most who have come before.

OTC, very intriguing commentary re SC supposed business practices.  If true i wonder if the practice is predatory and consequently illegal.  Big banks are settling major league law suits based on illegal business practices (although i guess they settle to avoid be so publicly branded). It would be very interesting to find out if CS was trading TID down.  Is it possible aside from ...more

My guess to a legal obligation is yes,isn't it a MATERIAL CHANGE?  Looking back, right up to the beginning of November TID  appeared to be under accumulation,but after November the game changed M&P got out from under their debt and at least one insider sold his shares. Love to know what was said as"hardship" to TSX. I listened carefully to the CC and all  that was ...more

Just for clarification, what kind of petition are we filing? It is a sort of injunction or temporary restraining (TRO) order? If so, it should be filed with the District Court or court who have a jurisdiction over a Bankruptcy Court so we can stop the proceedings and maintain "status quo" prior to TID filing under Chapter 11, in so doing we can buy time and request for shareholders ...more
