Deal or No DealUnlike rad10, I believe that a deal has been done. One of us will be right and the other wrong. It doesn't really matter.
What I also believe, however, is that completion of the deal and settlement of the details, are dependent upon the company's audited year-end results, which will likely not be available until the end of February. mean who would make a deal based on this company's historically unreliable accounting. At the very least they would want to have the benefit of audited numbers. This is probably the reason for delay of any annnouncement.
My guess is that the announcement of a deal will be combined with the announcement of their audited year-end results, and thus come sometime around the middle of March.
