They must see the vote is in trouble...or, they'd never 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!
