someone already posted they were able to sell (short) at $15. that means that there was a buyer there. we all saw the trade.
it may be a thin market. it may have limited interest. but it's got a bid. it's got an ask. and that, by definition, is a market.
the company botched the handoff of the DTIC shell without an announcement of news and a roundup provision that encouraged MANY buyers who would instinctively be LOOKING for news.
to blame traders for.. being here? .. is a very sophomoric stance if that is, in fact, the stance of the company.
to give even a crude update as to what the process may be moving forward.. two or three weeks now into the merger.. should be a given.
we don't want the moon, just a little slice of cheese from it. people are patient. sending surrogates to a message board, though, to kill excitement and expectations is a whole 'nother story.
