We all need to remain optimistic as this is far from over

Everybody needs to calm down. Things are moving along, but probably not as fast as we would all like.
 
The most important aspects of the Marketwired article, re-posted by uptowndog, is this (please read carefully) :
 
"The relief granted included an order authorizing Tuscany to retain GMP Securities as its investment banker and to implement bidding and marketing procedures in order to seek higher and better offers for all or a portion of Tuscany's assets than the offer contemplated by in the Stalking Horse Agreement.

ttiben, we'll have to wait a little to see the outcome. But shareholders stand a better chance now to recover something, than they did at the end of January, thanks to our crusade..

They had a strategic process similar to this one a year ago. The results were not announced, and then M&P acquired Tuscany's asset (the same asset which M&P sold to Tuscany) at a attractive discount and using worthless paper as portion of the payment. And now M&P is not a shareholder, wouldn't be something if they end up with the remaining assets, and nothing to the ...more
