Well the only possible good news is that perhaps its difficult to talk about a significant transaction (takeover or whatever) so they choose to say nothing at all to avoid any chance of spilling the beans. I've been met with the same wall of silence where previously there's always been a willingness to talk, even when news is bad (even if talking was to say they couldn't say anything!). Odd then that now noone is willing to talk at all so I'm wondering if there are sensitive things happening behind the scenes. That or they've all packed up shop and gone to the pub.
