Am I correct that if a buyout at .70 was announced the stock should shoot past that due to the sudden need to cover with a floor of .70?

Although we are getting way ahead of ourselves in discussing a buyout option, Don has left us with nothing better do than speculate.

I don't know how a buyout would be handled in our situation. My guess would be that the shorts would just pay the .70/share to all shareholders, and the market price would stay at 70 cents. Seems like it would be cheaper for shorts to pay for the ftd's rather than trying to cover them on the open market. But, if this were the case, then a buyout wouldn't make sense as there would be nothing to gain for the buyer.
