looks like silvergate sitting on the stock , page-15

Appreciate you candid post Buster.

As for the SP slide, well.. its not the only one in my portfolio to be going down, the volume has been tiny overall IMHO, so no top 20 holder is exiting, otherwise the SP probably would be zero.

I continue to hold because I still trust management, which in the end is the basis of all my investments.

I have to take issue with this part of your post though -

"My biggest fear is that a deal is done that is really not in the best interests of shareholders, is a lesser deal than what ASI is able to bring, but is done because the Board feels they have to deliver something."

I think we will have to wait and see on that one.

To be fair Buster, I assume any time ASI/Silver wants to talk to management, they like myself, probably have a mobile phone to use :-)

anyway, we wait for news.
