Because it seems we are simply transferring all of this upside to another company at this point. Long term that should be good for we shareholders correct? Its a transfer not a buyout. We are essentially being traded to another team who clearly has a better manager. I'm just trying to understand why that's bad other than not cashing in now, which again I completely understand.
Its a bad deal imo because too much of it is future related and the only people that get paid for futures are stockbrokers and in this case Hession and his posse.Too many things can happen that can go wrong, we are being sold on OSH stock appreciation. What happens if it goes the other way? And then there is the certification between OSH and Civelli. Botten is on record saying there is 5T's and Hession says there is enough for two trains. Will we know the numbers before we are to vote? It seems to me the July 16 vote date matters. I want to know what's in the hole that we are supposed to have known for the last 7 years before I bet and it is a bet on A7. This all becomes moot if we get good news on or before AGM. Given Hession's history I don't expect it. What has taking his word for it done for us for the past 2.5 years?
This deal has too many unkonwns for me.
