RE:RE:RE:The Bean counters in the GovernmentConsidering this new came out a couple of days ago, you can count on the fact that there will be no settlement at least within the next 30 days as they are not able to issue options like this within a blackout period of material news. So it looks like to me news of any compensation is more than 30 days out.
On the flip side - for them to issue options right now and at 15 cents makes one beleive we're in the final stages and a payout is in the horizon that will bring the SP much north of 15 cents (i'm sure they want to make a good profit on their options). If they benefit, WE benefit.
