What if the buyout price is $50 trillion per share?
You can't say a buyout does the longs no good until you know what the buyout price is. I'm pretty sure that multi-billion dollar companies are able to figure out what us message board posters know and value the technology accordingly. Indeed, I'm pretty sure they are more than capable of figuring out what JBII might be worth in the year 2015 and apply a discounted cashflow method to that, or better yet, value what it would be worth in the year 2015 if they owned it themselves which would probably be higher with their financial arm and worldwide expertise in all sorts of areas.
