Thanks for stepping in with your views, whether folks agree with them or not the discourse is appreciated. My thoughts are with MarkEddy that without a buyout of shareholders, he wouldn't be able to make the transition. Though if SDVI is merged into GRAFF and GRAFF is currently a private company (if that's what the dividend shares represent in our accounts at the moment), then privatization will have occurred regardless. I would agree that his lack of communication is purposeful, though more for reasons of wanting to PR completed good news, rather than the previous PRs that spoke of deals still in progress that haven't panned out.
We're the secondary market for these shares and so if he's not in a diluting mood, keeping us in the dark until good news is available is not the worst plan. :)
Cheers,
