^^Yet again the lesson to learn is: Don't mess with Wee

1) Forget about realising the FULL value of SL. Give and take, likely give more than take. Wee don't take bad deals.

2) Do you have faith in Silchester to extract value from tough guy Wee?

3) Is liquidity an issue for you? Otherwise you can sell in the market and an offer is not as important to you.

4) Can you outlive Wee. Peter Cundill is dead

Wee is not immortal. Catalyst will come one day. See Jopie.

Of course. So it is whether you can 4) outlive him

In general execution wise, one then have to consider whether to do now and wait for catalyst; or wait for catalyst then do. Very different psychology and timeframe.
