More silly paranoia. Shareholders generate asks. Money makers can't block a higher ask with a lower one. If shareholder sentiment is downbeat, the opening ask will naturally be lower than the previous share price. That's the way the market works, not some silly collusion between a market maker and a company wanting a buyout. Thompson is the only person who will decide if a buyout offer is acceptable or not. He doesn't have to take a lowball offer. Please stop littering this board with your paranoid fantasies. They have nothing to do with reality.
