RAK Rakon

I would have thought a decision to reject a proposal was an easier exercise and therefore more likely to be prompt/quicker, whereas to firm up an actual offer underpinned by appropriate due diligence would be much more complicated/take an extended timeframe.

So is this worth a gamble at current pricing ($1.18/lower) given the upside would seem significant? And where will the market price go if negotiations are signalled to be discontinued, which is the downside risk?

Anybody feeling brave?

I thought I read somewhere that the US Government is currently massively subsidising the onshoring to USA of Taiwanese chip manufacturing plants, because of the current strategic risks to that jurisdiction. Perhaps that is what is skewing the scrum for RAK?

OK, I confess. Since posting this I have added another 5k at $1.15 just in case. Not life threatening, and an outcome must be getting closer.

And still we wait! But I am salivating now at where I will be in the 2024 sharetrader competition if this has a positive outcome!
