Panda, so let me understand.. youre thinking a deal for all intense purposes at least by the end of the yr and are taking a long shot of friday or monday... so if this is indeed true youre basically saying the wmih common price of .73 is a buy of a lifetime... now, youre taking the side of a deal could be "leaked" to the in the know funds, institutions, etc and they are the ones "shaking" the tree... now my question, how are they shaking the tree? the stock usually goes UP on leaks, not down on leaks, usually the tree shaking would of happen months ago so I can easily take the other side and say the leak is not good for common hence the funds are exiting now
