HSO takeover offer will be huge for Ramsay, page-112

"And Directors buying shares at this level is the best way for management to speak."

And now there is an exhortation from you for directors to buy shares... irrespective of their personal financial circumstances, how much of their personal wealth they already have invested in the company, or - most importantly - whether or not they even believe the stock is sufficiently undervalued to buy, to begin with.

It sounds increasingly like you've bought a stock, it has gone down and now you want to call on some extraneous factors to make up your losses.

An approach to investing along the lines of: You'll happily take any upside, but when downside appears, you want someone to step in to intervene so that you can be insulated from losses.

That's not how the world really works, sadly.
