RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:AmazingExactly right. Unfortuantely the long cycle of commodity business from discovery to production and the nature of raising funds in public markets warrants such behaviour.
Tech is the same, but the friend and family deals happen way early in the VC stage, and not spread into the public domain.
Trade it as is, it will most probably go way up, but the upside is always limited by such actions. The tightly held companies are in better shape from this perspective (For example MIN), but they tend to get bought out at a glmipse of success unfortunately.
