It seems pretty strange to me that the very first whiff of "maybe there could be a buyout" came yesterday when VBDG was getting killed.
If that were a real possibility we would have heard about it sooner,
Who knows. You can make a case that VBDG could be a buyout target, but I for one am not going to get excited about that possibility being floated for the first time on a day like yesterday for VBDG.
