RE:Random ThoughtsGood overview. I have refrained from posting for some time. Ive always championed the value of the assets here, but it was suggested that I should tone it down in the rare event that those suing MBAC might become emboldened to hold out for more (i.e. like the profit sharing attempted claim? there are few other sources for info). And so the employees should try to get whatever they can. After all, it seems from the Jusbrasil site, they were not only denied any severance but were also not given their last paycheck - meanwhile it appears management continues to collect their $300,000.00 salaries for an operation that has been down for over a year. Add to this, as earlier suggested, management seems more bent on fighting the former employees in court than to coming to a deal. Yet, from their website they say, MBAC is committed to respecting the rights of all our employees You have to ask yourself if the management is really that pathetic or is there an ulterior motive here. That is, how would management stave off a buyout if it was in one of the original bids or even a hostile bid from coming forward? Its easy, create a liability that will keep anyone from touching this with a 10 foot pole. Why? because the assets really are that good and they want to keep them to themselves through a refinancing deal only. (go to website then link assets then media gallery to remind yourself why the plant alone is worth over US$400 million and would cost more than that to build today) It makes you wonder. Still hoping for that buyout or hostile bid. Heres wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and the prospects of a good new year. Greg
