Andy, I really don't know, but it seems that LM doesn't have any trouble getting contracts as its the largest defense contractor in the world. What I am really thinking is that Ferris doesn't have any intention of selling out to anyone. New building, new hires, etc points to him going it alone. Either way, we're in no position to question his reasoning, all I want is the PPS to increase. I have zero emotional attachment to this company. I am just your basic greedy bastard who wants his money back + a few bucks for time spent on this investment..
