The first business I bought took 8 months and it was a very small business compared to PPHM. For 6 months, the only people who knew about the transaction was 2 accountants and 3 lawyers. Most of the employees found out the day we changed hands. The key employees found out at the 6 month mark because a few of them were essential to the deal and we needed to know they were on board.

My point is that it's possible that they had a deal pending the trials of sunrise and then had to re-evaluate based on those results. It's also possible that they planned on going alone until the sunrise trials and are working a deal now. It is possible that the process of partnering is almost done even though we would not know it until they are ready to announce.

I suggest looking at the off the cuff remarks made at the CC's and ASM as well as responses to shareholders in informal meetings for hints. I believe there are a few that might suggest a possible direction. Kind of looking for a tell in poker. Sometimes they slip and show their hand.

If something were up, there may be subtle hints such as CEO's going a bit overboard acting like nothing is up. The company may put out PR's that suggest there is nothing to see here - might even bring up a failure that happened well in the past to emphasize the point that nothing is going on that should move the share price. And then if the stock price has upward pressure, they could sit on the ask to keep it from causing the buyer to think that the news has been leaked.

This is a good example of what may be going on, but now with social networking and being tagged so to speak when that social network has an algo that detects when someone else just goes to click on their profile ( AND allows others to view a top ten list so to speak of "People also viewed" ), its this very, very intangible type of information that sometimes can give a slight glimpse of what is to come...

One very good example is "Briggite Phan" that shows up #1 on the PAV list in linkedin, on the late Dr. Phil Thorpe. Since I've been following these intangibles for quite some time, and when I seen Brigitte Phan (patent attorney for Allergan) show up as #1 with NO OTHER TIES to Dr. Thorpe a bell rings and sounds loud.....and I've pointed it out many times since.... and finally confirmation came a couple years later

Brigitte Phan(Allergan) on a patent with Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (Ramon Valencia) and Donald Bollella(Skywork Solutions..) for a medical device and one may quickly guess it has something to do with PS Targeting

So I completely understand how things must be agreed upon to be quiet and I can bet 100%, if it has not already been included in codes of silence, that one must also not be searching social media sites until a deal is finalized and why?

Well lets use your example and after 6 months (hypothetical..) then the small list of the ones in the know a deal is Imminent spreads from 2 to 10 people.

Some of those just may have an account on linkedin, like most do.... and what the hell, just start searching for some key names of the company they may be rolled up into, merged... or whatever ... and boooom, there goes the algo,working.... working.... and working....as once so many click on one name, click on a predictive set of names and now a certain persons PAV list on linkedin gets modified and a POSSIBLE HINT SURFACES FOR WHOM THE PARTNER MAY BE...

I say Amgen or Allergan...(or both could combine to pick up PS Targeting)

but only a landscaper and Trumpguy, so some say an uneducated follower

lets go CALICO... time is closing in... : )
