Oh well, let's hope that some really are investors, not just flippers and bashers.

I find it really hard to adopt a definitive and consistent stance on the company, at least as far as their strategic/financial performance lately is concerned - I'm not sure whether NP's all-in-or nothing stance and insistence on maximum value in negotiations will turn out to be a genius move (in which case his persistence was absolutely brilliant) or a miscalculation that will cost shareholders dearly short-term.

We'll find out soon enough...
