RE: RE: RE: Audio interview with Bob Swenarchuk, DI concurr completely. The way this has shaped up has the makings of a take out, which is why i believe the financing was done at this time. It serves a few purposes IMO based on what i've seen from other companies (most recently KNB).... it let's insiders fget in for more and also let's other companies get in for a stake. We know there are deals going on and the stated intention is to let Homestake go... i just hope there might be some competition among these 11 co's, and maybe one of them wants to act fast - why wait until other results come out that could inflate the asking price. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
