Both sides realize offers < investor confidenceLets face it ethics in corporate world seems to be non existent. With what seems to be a lets fleece small investors. This will only reduce investor confidence. In the end I am starting to see names and marking them as avoid at all cost. Maybe more of us have to. But I am also extremely loyal to companies that seem to put shareholder and for that matter all stake holders interest ahead of their own. I would definitely right now be very interested in an all or part share take over. This company has to have some assets that are of value. How about a joint bid by a Canadian Competitor and an American competitor to split the assets and pay in shares in their companies. A guy can dream.
