RE: WHO COULD BUY US OUT -For those looking for a buyout, I'd ask why you would want that.
Lets say they get a buyout at $13 this year. For anyone holding today thats 100% premium - but of course, you now get hit with captial gains on the total (unless you have it in a tax-sheltered holding). Now you have a bunch of cash and you need to find a place to invest it. If you are really lucky you might find a company half as good as BNK. I'd rather just leave the full amount invested and growing in BNK and have it grow un-taxed for the next several years. The OIP isn't going anywhere, and it's value is gorwing while it sits in the ground.
