Spoke with Linda for the first time. Very nice, willing to chat. She's very upbeat about the deal although not pleased with the flipping and other games; she pointed out this is how MMs earn their living; what the stock needs is people in it for the long haul which will stop this small stuff going on.
Merger can't be rushed, will take whatever time it needs so nobody can predict exactly when. Any talk of next week or any hard date is just wishful thinking.
Europeans will come back in when the pps stabilizes - apparently they can't stand the volatility. What we need is slow, steady gains.
Hope I got all that right, Linda. Thanks for the update.
