Perhaps they've run the standing bid in the background, and not even the DP flyers have bid an FDA........what if you throw a party and no one comes. If they have a bid, and no one bids it.....then there is no "face saving".....

My bet is that with the "Euro at record highs against the dollar".....and various and sundry random "complications"....the dynamic of the FDA will change and we might see a tweak to the LOA. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but the longer they wait, the bigger they'll have to go, which means the more they'll have to entice.

I've been wrong before......my first wife for example.....I also thought the LOA would go down in flames......you can all point and laugh later when I'm proved wrong again....my face will turn red, I'll laugh, and buy you a beer.

Unless it's Vags....then I might buy a few.
