yes - and if the uncertainty drags on, certain unknowns, party to one degree or another to the more hard to get at finer details none of us are every party to could well be doing very well thanks very much just on the resultant price fluctuations of the reigning uncertainties. Applies to ANY stock. Is this too cynical?

No names, no direct inferences - no pack drill - and not speaking of the CEO or Board of this company, or any other, per se. Many other interested parties would be hanging around awaiting outcomes on this, and any other worthwhile stock.

But all of US, the providers of capital - whichever the company - must take the overall manoeverings and news feeds with a grain of salt. Because WE are the means by which THEY, those at company "tops", are making the big money.

"We" being little cogs in some very big wheels. Don't think too many CEO's and Boards really care too much about all OUR outcomes -as long as we're kept "oiled" occasionally. I emphasise I speak generally of the overall stock market - and not, in particular, of IOH or any other individual company.

But being a fly on the wall when Twiggy and Kerry are at dinner - assuming they ever meet for dinner - well, that'd be very beneficial - and perhaps we'd hear "stuff" which would eliminate a lot of the guessing. If only!

The length of time we are all kept in suspense on this one, though, (the FMG option) is, to me, a legitimate cause for complaint.

Big money. Big personalities. Little insignificant investors.
