RE:RE:RE:RE:UP after hoursI understand that Lumber, but it wouldn't make much sense from a PE angle to take an unsecured position to retire secured bonds. They would be much better off to buy the secured bonds in the open market with their ridiculous yield if they thought the company was going to survive. Anythings possible, but PE is pretty shrewd and won't do anything out of the goodness of their heart. I fail to see how the math works. It smells of desparation.

They were looking for an outright buyer and there couldn't have been any interest, so they are now searching for someone to pump in some money. If there was no problem with the guidance, they could have made interest payments for the next 2 years provided they weren't misleading the market. If this last ditch attempt fails to bring in an investment, people had better hope they meet their numbers. The amount of money they would need to raise in relation to the current market cap to significantly reduce the debt is mind boggling.
