Conspiracy theoriesConspiracy theories are great fun if you don't take them too seriously. An example would be the 1969 moon landing. There are a lot of tidbit factoids that can make you think that all they did was orbit the earth and film the moon landing on a set. The big problem with that is the (then) USSR was in a heated battle with them and they would have debunked it in a heartbeat. Both the USSR, other nations and home astronomers alike all tracked that vehicle from Earth to the Moon and back again. I think hard evidence like that sort of outweighs the unexplained shadow or two in a few moon photos.
How does this relate to BB? Well guys there is no honour amongst thieves (Expression of speech). If BB was worth so much more than Watsa has on the table (if he actually had any hard financial commitment on the table...which he does not) and if a handful of novice investors on a message board can see through it, then why can't any of the other deep pockets in the world see it? Where are the counter bids? Do you actually believe ever last potential suitor in the world is either too blind to see what some of you on this message board can see, or is so loyal to Prem Watsa that they will just sit by and let him steal it cheap for himself? If you believe that then you really are new to the world of business and do not understand what happens to the average human being when you hang a dollar bill in front of their nose.
The truth lies in no counter bids and Prems so called offer being totally uncommitted. There is your astronomical tracking to counter a shadow or two in a few photos.
PS- The Jury is leaning towards Prem throwing out a meaningless bid to try and stir up real bids to save his own behind. You decide for yourself.
