IMO people tend not to act on the unknown, so when we get a definitive date, I think steady accumulation will come into play over weeks because that pocket of doubt in the back of their head is sealed and the investment is well justified.
Heck, all I needed was one conversation with Linda back in March and one look at these petty prices vs. the book value of the resultant company...not to mention the potential market value when you start applying EPS factors...
