In theory that's the positive side and it does have it's merits. However, any R/S I've been involved in or heard about have done nothing but give the initial buyers the shaft by allowing a LOT more room for downward PPS manipulation.
I'm not saying a R/S is in the stars for Laidlaw, I'm not advocating for one and IF one did occur it could very well have the desired positive effect you describe. By the same token, it could also turn out as I described.
