I was trying to do some reserch before I posted, and the only number I can come up with was 53.1% stake, and they had plans to divest more.

I wish I still had the window open to site the source.

but if they still have a controling stake in expressjet, they can still stop the merge if they try right?

The letter from the fund manager did what it was intended to do...raise the stock of XJT. Period end.

I bet they sold a bunch of XJT stock today.

Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.

FFB has hit the nail on the head. Its not about running a successful business. Its about running the stock up and selling. Hedge funds are systematically destroying any long term value in the US economy to make their quick bucks.

The stock price didn't increase all that much. ($2.55/share as of close today, I think.) I doubt the hedge fund sold anything at all. They still paid more than twice that price.
