RE: Why are people selling. pretty simple really - if ive got 10000 shares, and i bougt another 5000 at the opening (after the halt I got filled at 3.80), then it makes good sense to sell off some of my shares to reduce my risk - sure it looks like the deal will go through, but it would really suck if the deal didn't. Ive lowered my risk, raised some cash and am a pretty happy guy all around.
