I agree with you.
I will say though that for some reason that if they don't get the 50% plus one needed this time around, imo there might be reason for concern and especially so if the share count is down significantly or the more I think about, just down.
Thus, I regard this second tender as crunch time, meaning either they get the shares needed or they don't.
Although I THINK they will get it, nothing is 100% certain.
The good part about this is that hopefully a non tender would bring things to a boiling point and that the suspense and waiting wouldl be resolved quickly after that as to what Astellas intends to do here.
The suspense of all this when the initial bid was made on November 9 was fine and even a bit entertaining with all of the differing opinions, gossip, speculation, predicitions, etc.
However at least for me, it has become irritating, and it is time for the fun and games to end and get a "declared" winner and loser here so that I can move forward with other new investments.
ps And yes, in the spirit of fair and balanced reporting, I have contributed my share here every day sometimes with intended humor and sarcasm added to make my points.
