RE:The VoteNot necessarily.
LL and co have the ability to punish FCU SHs in the short term, and inflate the DML SP to woo votes or make it seem as though they've won it. This result was predictable, in a sense, after the meeting on Tuesday and I was actually going to make a remark to that effect. DML would have been expected to rise for the next few days, and it did. I thought about buying some to flip, but my $ is all in FCU. The voting is now closed, and Monday may tell us more. There's no more influencing to be done.
Regardless of how the vote turns out, we may still profit, but not as well as LL.
There are so many people with bigger problems (war, floods, dictators, poor health) that even this pales by comparison. Let's be thankful this weekend for what we do have, the love and friendship in our lives, and the safety we take for granted here in North America. Spare a thought or a prayer for the less fortunate, and do what you can to help.
