Agenda item: Molly B Denim Co.

CEO: What is the status of our acquisition of that apparel company
out west—the one that’s getting all the buzz? We’d better act fast.

EDO: We had agents buying shares as fast as they could without
getting the market’s attention. It’s worked before. But we couldn’t get
more than thirty percent.

CFO: Why not? That should have been easy. Our analysts predicted
Robojeans would be a hot item, long before anybody knew they
existed. They’ve been available for just a week, and look at these sales
figures. At least our intelligence was correct, if that’s any consolation.

IR: I’ve got two pairs already—now I can dance like the stars and eat
like a pig!

CEO: No, really: why weren’t we able to grab them before anyone
else figured out their long-term potential? What good is our research
department? Who aced us out?

EDO: Some little upstart with capital it raised through online
subscription beat us to it. Just dumb luck. They had fifty-one percent
sewn up before we knew it. I doubt they care they beat the pants off
us.

CFO: Very funny. But we’ll still make out on this: the new owner,
Omega Corp., is buying back all outstanding shares at a twenty-five
percent premium.
