Hmmm, someone in the NW forum posted this news link with a bit more info. Looks like J.P. Morgan guaranteed it would buy up all of NW's remaining shares. But what has this got to do with the price of tea in China?

Am afraid when it comes to biz-news, I'm about as useful as the teats on a boar (not that I'm ever any more useful than that, anyways)...

Edited - Bother, looks like it's an agreement to buy up the new shares, and nothing to do with the current crop of soon-to-expire shares. False alarm, it would appear. We'll be under the yoke of the Golden Share for a while yet.
