to the author, a point of inquiry ....is there possible advantage to holding on to my shares until the deal actually closes,,or,,,I might as well sell right now because it's a done deal, and that's the price, period !!

@coolcatnip
Sell now and use the cash to buy yourself something nice... like some $AAPL or $SOXL.

Lazy here, does anyone know the "90-day volume-weighted average share price through that date."

Great news for patient ORBC longs. Wish we could have ridden this one out independently, but I'll take the win. Congrats!
