Apologies for going off topic everyone. pdb2, you asked. Some of your writing to think about is below, all in italics, not all are responses to Charlie.

An example of a derisive statement.
Hope you don't get attacked for being non arcam specific. LOL.

An offensively condescending one-
So you are dead wrong.

The letter "a" is on the opposite side of the keyboard than "o" and bald doesn't mean the same thing, whatsoever, as bold. So, you do mean bold don't you? It's not rare that you make that mistake.
Charlie, easy to make a bald statement which I never do.

That was a direct response to Charlie. I find Charlie provides more evidence than hypotheses and I wouldn't call his statements "bald" or bold, so, some of your bold statements follow to make a point. We've covered the first one thoroughly and it's clear what Swedish law dictates so I don't know why you're going on about this. Again, a direct response to Charlie when Charlie was correct.

Bottom line, no one knows, despite your claims, how many shares GE has in its camp as of now or how many will be tendered finally as of expiation date. I suspect it will be over 50% GE will accept some level between 50% and 90%, the higher percentage the better. We shall see what level GE accepts but it won't be just 14% and many shares will be bought by GE contra to your expectations. Guess that addresses the points you made.


Finally, a "bald" statement but not in response to Charlie.
And maybe you should stop seeing mergers at every turn as well You've been posting about arcam merging for over a year which I have negated. Fist why would arcam merge with any company as it has a growing EBM field to itself. Second, after all the money the EU has given to arcam, why would they allow merging. Third, why would any company want to merge with arcam for the price it would demand when it can get the benefits by just buying a printer. You really think GE, which is primarily laser and already bought one 3d company wants to buy arcam?. Same with Alcoa which is playing both ebm and laser and why take on the risks and demands of the arcam play when it can simply buy and experiment with individual printers.
