RE: RE: Nice Action
RE: RE: Nice ActionIt's my split personality. A stronger share price makes the world of difference IMO. Severtal will get squeezed hard with a higher S/P as it will open more options to fund us into positive cashflow. While it is my belief they want to sweep the assets, they'll have a hard time doing so with price appreciation. Severstal still wins with share appreciation but they can't tap into future cashflow. If the s/p goes to $1.00, it'll cost them $300 million to take it out vs $60 million today. A book gain on their balance sheet means little if they take it out so I suspect they'll want to move before the price appreciates.
Market factors seem to be working against a cheap take out. A .30 s/p and liquidation of PLG shares totally changes this picture. I'd even be happy with a share roll back in a poistion of strength as it will broaden institutional investor base.
