Chances of a successful appeal are always crappy at best. This board over the last few weeks has talked themselves into a 90% chance of a win. Nothing could be further from the truth. 50/50 chance at best. The chances of being disappointed with the outcome of the appeal are high regardless of what this boards sentiment is.
What a shallow poor quality analysis - particularly of the suggested chance of success in appeal - maybe the appearance of this inadequate only skim the surface article I seems to disguise the opposite !
Alm2, Agree that the article is very poor. I stated my own rebuttal to it in the comments as "MJ-07." In all honesty I think Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have enough of their own institutions and special investors placed in AMRN that they may have enough votes to win a "hostile" bid, if a friendly deal is not agreed to. These firms want the lucrative fees and they know BP wants to own AMRN, they just would not agree to pay the price that JT wanted. Sometimes a good kick in the teeth can bring clarity to ones perspective. I think JT and his BOD got such a kick from the Du ruling stock slaughter.
