Northern Tier Energy LP (NTI)

[pete807]

With a lot of study I decided that the 26.06 would not happen as the language in that PR said it would be pro rated, ... to be decided. A lot of lawyer speak!
I elected the mixed even though I opposed the merger. There was no vote? presumably because they had the deal locked up with their control of both boards and help from too big to fail banks, allowed to play with a monumental conflict of interest for us private unit holders. The truth is much of the 62% of units not owned by WNR was not PRIVATE investor owned but in bank directed funds.
I reasoned that WNR certainly did NOT overpay for NTI and I could sell WNR when the market sees it.
IMO there will be a huge short squeeze sometime late this year or next because 27% of WNR float is shorted. All the cash flow is bound to help WNR.
Here is what really transpired:
