RE:RE:RE:RE:PTA's stock rises higher than the acquisition price - C$1.33
I agree that GTE might be buying up shares in the open market. I assume the insiders will have in place as part of their support, an agreement that a higher offer from GTE will be reflected in their buyout. It's possible that GTE is prepared to pay a higher price but started with a "stink bid" in order to clean up some weak shares, and will sweeten the offer as the vote grows closer. However, it is also possible that there has been some share accumulation by another bidder in preparation for an upcoming offer. Be patient Grasshopper...
