RE:Deal must be going to failThe 100 million(ish) shares that traded much lower in recent months could be reasons (for day after day declines) too. Why should someone who can lock in a 50% gain or better after a month or two wait a few more months to squeeze out the last 20% or so? The upside here is capped at around 20%. There are more profitable trades out there if you can find them - and people that bought BNK at the low just might know how. -GLTA
