Hypothetical answer. With a potential buyout looming it would make no difference whatsoever to change CEOs, IMO.
Also, in light of the recent published financial condition of TFN, it seems that TFN doesn't have the wherewithal to continue operations, let alone grow them. So, either a buyout, a merger or the acquisition of a deep pockets partner is going to be necessary for TFN to stay alive.
Lets assume that the buyout doesn't take place. If another CEO with a checkered past assumes the position the pps will languish and might just . . . die. Some gamblers may take a flyer with a few million shares, but the big buyers will no doubt wait to see what happens - which could be nothing but more innuendos and double talk.
Now, if a CEO who has a proven track record of turning companies around shows up and decides to take on the challenge and becomes transparent about the company, its financials and indicates an intent to connect the dots between BKMP,BCO and TFN then, in my opinion this stock will become a darling. If TFN truly has the potential that many of us believe it to have, there is a very good possibility that there is such a CEO out there who is eying this company.
'Course, Sandy would have to give up the reins, take his stock and sit in the background. So would Mike to a certain extent. What are the chances?
