The Market Likes It.....I think "the market" likes the deal as the share price of SLW did NOT go down and is, in fact, up a bit today. If the share price of the purchaser usually goes down after such a transaction, what else could you say? (To me) it seems that everyone likes the deal EXCEPT (some? or a majority?) shareholders but there's not too much unusual about that. I can't think of a deal that went down where everybody was happy. Add in the current market conditions and that multiplies itself even a little more.
Still....SLW is an outstanding company with excellent growth potential AND it's attractively priced. It's also on many BUY lists on various PM based newsletters.
Finally, I think that if I was an SST shareholder my like or dislike of this deal would depend on where I got in at but ain't that always the way it is??
