no one knows exactly when news of the sale will occurAlthough no one can know, the average investor sees a buyout happening. It seems like it would happen fairly soon. There must be a news release related to the meeting soon. News releases tend to drive the price up. I would bet there is a news release today after closing about the meeting, hopefully about the vote results. As far as owning these shares, it seems like a dangerous idea to sell before close today, as the likelihood of some news just before or after the stat holiday seems stronger now. I would think if somone wants to flip it for a penny thursday or friday would be a better idea.
