well said gestalt. i've been a supporter of NP for a long time - based on his grit, determination, and history with the company. but i'm at the point where i'd absolutely consider other alternatives. but it would need to be someone impressive with character.

i would also consider a reasonable offer for a BO. and it would be quite a bit lower than the 3-digit price target that his been thrown around historically. a lot lower.

again, i'm willing to be patient enough to see what happens in Brazil. of course at the current trajectory of the SP, i may not have a pot to piss in by the time we get results, but i will hold off on grabbing my pitchfork until that plays out one way or the other.
