We received the best guidance a person could possibly get on Ihub from 2 of the top financial minds anyhwere (in EI and H-man) and you're still convinced holding out is best. That's your right and privilege...so do it!
To anyone else thinking of holding out for $25 consider that you'll have to make one HUGE high risk assumption if you do and that is that the next tender offer will be $25. It could just as easily be $18 or $20. Could it not?
They've done one low-ball offer at $5 and now one good offer at $16...is there anything to keep them from doing another low-ball (based on the pps today not another $5 offer)? No. Is there any guarantee, once the pps decays 3 years from now to say $10 or $12 that they won't do another at $16? or $15? or $12? No. Show me where you have a guarantee that the next offer is or will ever be $25. It's not there...you have to assume it is. Big gamble.
The time value of money should be considered.
Learn something new every time you invest...and take it with you to the next opportunity.
