xstrata behind takeover preparation?, page-35

I agree Hotrock with: "But not so much in the private companies. From my experience, private and not public dealings are getting favoured treatment.. for good reason ..no shorting and less compliance issues."

I have mentioned before that we should go private asap…no more shorting/manipulation and my bet is suddenly every single "no stock held, paid? down ramper" will disappear as if they had never been here……what a wonderful thought…I hope WM is working on Plan B and do just that. Dividends to be shared by existing holders only…..could then most probably put a much needed payback block on anyone we did not want as a private share holder…a number of names come to mind…lol
