I totally agree with you. I hope it does fail. I know bhi is suffering right now no doubt but it would be worse if lil red choo choo bought us. I have buddies in lil red corporate office and I promise you they are suffering also. Maybe worse but no less.
Ridiculous. If the 'merger' fails BHI gets a $3.5B cash injection from HAL. If anything, BHI stock goes up and HAL tanks. Now BHI execs stand to get a hefty payout when the deal closes, so you can bet they're pushing for it.
Here's what I think is going on: We all know HAL has extremely close ties to the government - Dick Cheney, etc. if they want this deal pushed through the SEC, it will be. So why have we been seeing some negative press lately about possible anti-trust? I'm guessing that HAL has changed its collective mind about buying BHI. Maybe after doing their due diligence, they've found BHI is a mess? Or maybe the fact that oil prices have tanked since the move was announced? Regardless of the reason, HAL can't just say "Sorry, we changed our mind", fork over $3.5B, and go on their merry way. No, Lesar would be out and the shareholders would show up with torches and pitchforks. What's probably going on behind closed doors is that Lesar has told his cronies in the SEC to kill the deal.
Think about it...
It already has failed.
Any individual who thinks the acquisition will fail is either collecting unemployment and wistfully thinking - or completely ignorant of what lies ahead.
All we know is: he's called the stig!
This merger will not fail.
Wonder what hall stock will do if it stalls out. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Dave.
I mean, we probably won't have jobs if the merger goes through either.....but at least we'll have a more plump cushion if it does
Have alerts set up so you can sell immediately if the merger fails. You might not have a job but you'll have some cushion
