Columbia, great points, with so few words in the announcement all we can do is attach significance to each and every one. The most important words are "strategic" and "partner" and all the very positive connotations that flow from them.

A different announcement might've had "banking" and "syndicate" in them, which these days would've meant only one thing: blood-sucking fiends who don't care about the company and care even less about the SP.

Dogby, don't be a d..k, you can be as pessimistic as you like, I really couldn't give a rat's, what I don't like is the combination of pessimism and speculation dressed up as foreknowledge. If you don't know something as fact then don't say it as though you do. If that's back-slapping and blind optimism then you clearly have lost your grip on reality.
