FWIW (not much since I am a lurker) it seems logical to me that Guy extending a trip and being very tight lipped with news is likely to ultimately be a good thing.

1) If it were bad, it would be out = stock down.

2) If it were good, it would be out = stock up.

3) If it were moving forward, yet not 100% settled, the stock would do what it is doing - trading sideways.

The folks over there have access to information just as we do here. If one of the major issues is not wanting to feel pressured by the "outsiders" then I would expect Guy to not say a word until it is all complete. Releasing news like "we are waiting on one more signature" in an area where they already feel like there is too much outside influence would only serve the "one more signature" to let the outsiders know who has the power.

Lay low. Stay very low key. Stay out of the press until it is all done.

It may be that it doesn't get done this trip, but further progress is made. That would stink for us long suffering longs, but hey - is this worth the wait or isn't it? There are other trains leaving the station and some are impatient watching mid-tier stocks go up 60% while PLE drifts down 20%. We think it is worth the wait otherwise we all would have left this thing long ago.
