So, Riverside stock shot up from $23.50 to over $30/share after the $29/share takeover bid by Tolko. Allan Thorlakson (founder, president and CEO of Tolko) owns 19.9% of the shares in Riverside. In round numbers, based on the report values in the news stories and the stock prices, the value of his stock went up roughly $15 million today. Basically this guy, already one of the 100 richest people in Canada, made $15,000,000
today for just talking about buying more of a company he already owns roughly 1/5 of.

Date: 2004-08-26 09:02 am (UTC)The human race is becoming a disgrace.
The rich get richer.
The poor are getting poorer.
Fascist, chauvinistic government fools.
People, Moslems, Christians and Hindus.
Are in a time zone just searching for the truth.
Who are you to think you're a superior race?
Facing forth your everlasting doom."
