Stick - lawsuit

Acquisitions are probably the most boring of all their alternatives. Maybe the makeup of the new board is risk averse. The tobacco guy who left may have wanted a different strategy. The new board could be looking for a lifetime of slow returns, no drastic actions.

Big volume could mean big boys testing sensitivity of the stock, getting ready to take all of the profit out of any move, up or down, hustling all newcomers, knowing that the stock will eventually go back to level, no matter how big the swing. Rollercoaster, anyone?
