Vic,

I strongly suggest that YOU go away and think about it a little more. Clearly when they made the announcement they thought it would be a matter of weeks, not months. Yes, there waa a delay, and yes, it's frustrating, but what the hell are we to do about it?

You said " If they truely belived it was going to be coming weeks then they should have put it in writing with the vendor."

I can just imagine the conversation.

ME: "We want it in writing that the acquisition will be finalised in xxxx number of weeks".

Peabody winsway: "Nice doing business with you, now go and get stuffed".

You clearly have no idea of how big business works. Now please, stop the meaningless dribble.

I'm no happier than you with the current state of play, but it is what it is. You have had plenty of opportunity to sell on the way down and you have chosen not to. Stop blaming the company for trading decisions that you have made.
