If EAR did not have any potential of given you a good return long term NST would not be in the game of wanting to buy your shares, but since they believe that it is a good business long term they are keen to buy your shares. In my opinion their offer of 33 is too low. Ask yourself what are you ready and willing to endure? (1) Do you want instant gratification? Are you a person of the "here and now"? then might as well sell your shares and get some cash in your hands by accepting the offer for 33 cents. Or (2) Are you a person of vision and endurance and believe that EAR can rise up and give you a better return long term? then hold onto your shares, fasten your seatbelt and get ready for an exciting ride that can take you to ups and downs, but in the long term might take you to a better place of wealth
