Ann: Cooper Accepts TransAtlantic Bid for Increme, page-7

re: Ann: Cooper Accepts TransAtlantic Bid for... a get out of gail free card offered to COE, but at least they took it. Pity about the dilution on the way down... COE may rise a bit short term but I probably won't be buying any more, being a medium term investor and too worried they'll go on making a few more mistakes, and I already have enough shares for the risk I'm prepared to accept.

Once bitten twice shy for me, unlike COE where twice bitten (MOS, IPM) and no certainty they've learned very much. Announcement today was a positive spin on a huge blunder, nice if they'd owned up to a bad error of judgement, I'd have a lot more respect.
