RE: The price may be revised downwardsdont be silly. I know management of Eicon is about as bright as a dark room, but when a company makes an offer of 5$, even these guys are not going to turn it down for a lower price! Prices will come within 2-3% on a normal takeover, but this particular takeover requires the blessing of two independant majority shareholders, not a vote from a majority public holding. This has more risk of the deal not happening, hence the bigger "spread". I will be just happy when this is all over - Eicon has had some good potential, I am just sorry mnagement has dropped the ball so many times - this is what is also keeping the stock price down lower. So many people have been hurt on this stock because management refuses to do any good investor relations, misses time-to-market news (remember the Linux craze - they came out with Linux news 2 months before and two months later, same with DSL, ISDN), and has seriously p*ssed off a number of analysts. Give it up, lets bury this dog and move on!
