There were plenty of shareholders who did not vote
Post# of 148155
That isn't the same thing as "voting Nader back in." I withheld my votes and the total votes that we saw showed that there were plenty of other people who did the same thing.
I see this as a huge step forward -- putting in someone like Ms. Durbach to head this company, someone very familiar with corporate law, mergers, etc. -- as a huge positive step.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the classic cha-cha-cha tomorrow. Stock goes in one direction, then reverses dramatically and hugely, then goes back in the original direction.
My GUESS is that this will be viewed as a positive by those who are familiar with the company, but may be viewed as a negative by those who know nothing about it but do the knee-jerk "management change... bad" crowd.
Like I said, I am chagrined that I didn't buy today. Maybe I will be happy about it tomorrow, if they give me a chance to buy cheaper.
