$6.3M on a $90M investment is 7%. And that's if you pay cash. If you borrow the money, then your profit is less the interest on your loan. Seems like you can do better with less risk with a decent investment portfolio.

But then, I'm just a poor engineer.

The chances of 'Stinky Pete' making a counter offer would seem quite slim.
