Weby, nice post. It is my opinion that if there is ever a buyout, the buyout company will wait until Wave is a proven company, with revenues and profits. No one is going to buy another company that is in the developement stage with no revenues, no one.
When we have a few hundred million in revenues than maybe, just maybe mind you, Wave might be a takeover target. But by that time we will probably be in the $20-$40 price range and with a premium on the buyout, the price will be higher.
I for one do not believe there is a buyout in the immediate future. If it's there, it is years away in my opinion.
So all the talk and rumors are just that: talk and rumors, not worth the time to type this post.
