    When it was announced conway stock was at $35 so how is that a lowball offer?

    XPO will have very little cash left as they already spend billions earlier in the year when they bought one off Europe's biggest trucking /logistics outfit.

    CNW had been trading for nearly $55 earlier in the year so I imagine there are many folks not too pleased with the offer.

    But takeovers usually happens when a company's stock price plummets. Precision Castparts was trading at nearly $250 last year but had fallen to $190 when Buffett agreed to buy them out for $235...

    It's 52 week high was $52.54 literally a year ago. Last time it was at $50 was January and it's been in a gradual decline ever since. Then after the purchase was announced it jumped from $35 to $47 in one day.

    XPO has some very wealthy investment groups / funds as strategic partners so $ will not be a problem for them

    Xpo has chase banking financial backing them for another 1.3 billion if they want it but stock analysts don't like xpo. They lost 100 mill last year and thief growth is from buying companies

    Don't see Jacobs name mentioned here:
    "In 1871, Harm Huizenga, a Dutch immigrant, began hauling garbage at $1.25/wagon in Chicago. In 1968, Wayne Huizenga, Dean Buntrock, and Larry Beck founded Waste Management, Inc"
