Right Hobbit, I forgot the 5 days starts when new offer is accepted as superior.

I'm not so sure the end is near though. Both bidders have had extreme profits the last year or two. That's money they didn't anticipate having. If they are looking forward it does no good to sit on those profits considering future demands. Either one could afford multiples higher.

Sure would like to see a slug fest. It would be sweet timing for a third bidder to come to the table.
