IMO "if" there is an offer for the public %, they would give an option to re-invest that money in the new found company. Thats the gist I got out of the whiteboard anyway, is that it was clear a new company or enitity was to be formed.
If they didn't give investors the opportunity to see upside from this investment than they know very well they have problems.. big time. Unless this deal involved Exxon, then all bets are off. Their as crooked as they come with the gov't in there pocket. Seems funny the company becomes more public and communicative, then turns around to screw you. Doesn't make sense to me.
My backup plan is to invest in Addax if we get bought out. I will watch my money double or triple with Jean Claude et all.
