Yep...I think you could be right. EOY or first week or two in 2010. I have seen considerably more attention being paid to this stock since new management came online. Several new posters hear – seem to be privy to special information and I’m calling that a very good thing for this board. A for real merge or getting acquired could really run this stock up.

I have seen acquisitions in the past where a larger company will buy a smaller company like IAO but not absorb/convert the stock. They just own the company they buy but nothing else changes the newly acquired company continues to trade under its original symbol.

Then I’ve seen it go the other way where the larger company converts shares of the acquired company into shares of its own stock. Personally I would prefer the 1st scenario where IAO stock remains. If they were owned by a much larger company investors would rush in. For one reason…IAO debt would evaporate or become meaningless under the wing of a much larger and profitable corporation. Again….either way longs and “anyone getting in now at this price” will do very very well.
