I think you missed my point. I doubt whether ATRN competitors would buy up shares of ATRN. What they would do is use the dark period to create doubt in ATRN customers and potential customers as to their viability to remain as an ongoing concern. That alone could steer business away from ATRN. Also I doubt whether ATRN would divulge much information to their large accounts, as that would constitute illegal activity. I do think they have probably communicated in some way to their customers that they intend on being around whether as ATRN private, or merged with another company. The point is that the longer ATRN stays in this "dark period" the more it is going to hurt them with business going forward.
