Which leads back to what I have been saying along, is that Dean's only option in reality is M/A and I will go as far to say the framework of a deal has already been struck. If you read between the lines with what Dean says you see things in a different light. The only thing I think differently now after the last CC is that the potential buyer may be Toshiba rather that GE. Either that or it is a brilliant negotiating move on his part to passively up the ante with GE.
