RE: Connect the dots
Just posted this on the MTB board as well.
First off, I have equal amounts of $ invested in both MTB and DEC so I consider myself somewhat unbiased as either way I will benefit from appreciation in share prices and whatever % ownership exists. This is my opinion only. For those shareholders that purchased MTB after the extra 20% option with MTB was announced you have nothing to complain about....had you done adequate due diligence you would have realized that ultimately if this property turned into anything that DEC would at the end of the day own 80% and MTB 20% based on the agreement the 2 companies had entered into. I would agree that MTB shareholders prior to the extra 20% agreement may have an argument but no more so than DEC shareholders that bought after the agreement was announced on the basis that they could earn an extra 20% for a total of 80% interest. How do you settle something like this and make it fair for pre-announcemt MTB shareholders and Post annoucement DEC shareholders?You cant have it both ways. I live close to an area with an airport and rail lines and I'm always amazed at people that move into an area, buy a house and them complain after the fact about all the noise from the trains and the airplanes.
