first we hear rumors of a bid deadline of the past weekend....it becomes "widely accepted common knowledge"....then it becomes real quiet....not a peep....then all of a sudden even before the bids are due...we start to hear of "weak bids"....then comes the monday after the bids are supposed to have been delivered.....and bango.....WEAK BIDS ARE ANNOUNCED TO THE PUBLIC....causing a big drop in the price,,,,,,only problem is none of this is actually true....and folks are being played like a fiddle during the quiet period...options players are once again ruining the game by placing demands on both time and price....they have 18000 patents to examine and then figure out what to do w/ the rest of the assets.....give the folks some breathing room
