Iam

Iam

I noticed that a number of our regulars on this board have taken to singing our praises on the Iam board.  I would like go on record as endorsing that strategy.  If Iam does offer a significant premium over market-and I think they will have to-they will have a bit of a selling job to get to get onside with their own shareholders.  Its might be a big help if we start laying the groundwork for that selling job now.

As I said in an earlier post-keep an eye on the ratio between MXI and IMG, its actually more important than our price, IMO.  The ratio is now 46 to 1 or thereabouts!  I suspect that if Iam management thought that they could get away with

30 to 1 they would jump at it.  Incidentally that would be a 50% premium and I think that they would get a lot of stock.

  It would be improper for them to launch a TO with so much data in the lab awaiting release, but once the cards are all on the table I would look for an offer if the relative prices are where they are now.
