rubbing salt into the wound...., page-5

In your dreams amigo - I have other and better (I hope anyway) furrows to plough. What puzzles me about all the complains is simply this - why does anyone think that the directors of UMC would sell their own shares at $1.30 if they though they were worth say $3.00? Personally I find $1.30 as disappointing as most- who would not. But no-one is forcing anyone to sell their shares and/or accept the BHP bid. Meanwhile the absence of any other bidder is clearly reflected in the share price. If, as many of you think, UMC is worth so much more then why isn't someone out there making a counter bid? No doubt there will be some interesting discussions at the AGM on why the Board think this bid is the best they, and you, can get. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend so don't go looking for me there!
