Shorts
I noticed the record date for the big meeting is November 8 and I was wondering ..... what happens with all those shorts? Last report there were 4 million shares short. Shorts can't vote the shares they shorted but the buyer of the short sales can, plus any shares borrowed by the shorts can be voted by the lender right? Any computershare folks out there know how it works? Shorts have to cut a cheque when a stock goes ex dividend but how do they cover a vote?

Have to wonder who is shorting this stock with a buyout price above the current sp??? They are hoping the deal falls through? Or could this be another tool used to keep the sp down to give investors the impression that they aint gonna get a better deal than that on offer? Not that anyone would be that nefarious....I guess I have too much imagination.... All imho.

Sorry Max! I misread your post. You didn't say the meeting was on Nov 8. My sincere apologies.
