what's bofa up to?, page-2

Yeah,thats a good question.

I noted when they got involved last Dec and sold out in Feb,that AOE SP had dropped by about 50 cents.

If B of A were shorting AOE and contributed to the SP drop,i would say that was to the benefit of RD Shell > a lower T/O price.

If they were buying now to benefit RD Shell,it would be likely in the case of being able to make it harder for another party by having a bigger stake in AOE.
Also there is no real downside to their stake in AOE,only upside,if or when another bid comes in.

Just my theory.
