It would be holding at .08/.09/.10. IMHO...
And why? The Street is following Liberty on this not SIRI. No one in the Liberty camp, Malone/Maffei, nobody, has raised one issue of doubt about this deal. If they had even a clue that this wasn't but a formality, I'm confident something would have leaked out and of course SIRI would be out back as we speak. The stock action of the last 10 days has not been trending negative..rather, it's been more positive. I look at this SP as deal pending hold.
The other issue I forgot in my rant (sorry LOL) is why in the world would Mel go to the trouble of getting that crucial NASD special dispensation to circumvent a shareholder vote on this deal, if BK was just the next step? Sorry, I just don't buy it... JMHO
