Top Bullboards post: After SIRIT (TSX: T.SI, Stock Forum) shareholders learned that the RFID company had received an improved takeover bid from Federal Signal (NYSE: FSS, Stock Forum), Chrissysizzles wrote: “Anyone thinking that it is a good idea to trust management that this is a good deal for us and we dont need to know any information and simply rely on their representation is foolish given what has now transpired which frankly validates all of our insinuations that 30 cents was laughable. They have amptly demonstrated to me in my judgment an inability to be frank and transparent on this. Again, this is just my view based on my interpretation of how this has unfolded over the last several months. The sad reality of all of this is that many "knowledgable shareholders" including the likes of Blue who believed in the fundamentals of this company sold prematurely largely due to having completely incomplete information in my judgment.”
