They're seeing the vote is in trouble...or, they'd never have called an October 5th meeting. However, let's not be too quick to throw Dev and company under the bus. Not totally a fan and have had a few email conversations with him condemning the merger. However, I'm first to admit I'm not perfect either. I might also been tempted to join forces with Lukas Lundin. In the past thirty plus years of investing, I've made alot of money in Lundin companies. He is truly a power player with a golden touch. Dev may have seen limited options in this bearish market and believed joining forces made better sense. Though I think remaining an independent pure play is a better strategy, I would never want too turf management completely. It could lead to uncertainty among potential investors. I'm hopeful for a NO vote, but happy with the people who've brought us here. Though my investment has suffered in recent months, strangely I still feel confident. Call it a false sense of security, even after a brutal day like today. I think will be alright and make out just fine. Try to dismiss the naysayers ( owning zero shares), with their own agendas. It may seem we're in dark days, but the sun will shine very soon... keep the faith!
