I wonder if it's VPE or one of their agents. There's much more trading at 8.6 so far than at 8.5.
As for attitude muzz...? My attitude is that I'm not willing to let my shares go for a steal, and I'm not about to be taken in by "nice" words from the helpful man holding the gate open for me. If the bid fails and ITC are left high and dry, the asset is still there in the ground and I can easily wait another year or two for the value of that to be pushed even higher by the coming oil supply crunch.
Having said that my backside is for sale now at the right price.
