Nat, the conspiracy theory side of me says they pulled this out to cause the stock price to drop, thus allowing the buyer to get more shares down cheap. My theory is that the company has had an offer but to low for them to sell their shares. However, if the buyer gets enough shares low, they can buy the rest at a higher price. Since they seemingly don't announce anything, getting an offer and arranging a bad quarter to slice 30% off the price allowing the buyer to get a couple hundred thousand shares down here might be just what the doctor ordered. How would we ever know? My guess is that an offer will be done before year end and that besides selling the company for a good enough price the "family" will continue to get the money Gene had been getting. All IMO. Thoughts?
