"I find it odd as buff changes his mind and leaves the scene"
I "connected the last couple of dots" about 15 days ago. Go back and look when TSA awarded contracts in the past, you will see a pattern. Smith's first got on the qpl for ETD in August many years ago. IMSC this past August. Smith's was subsequently awarded their FIRST ETD contract on October 17th and Smith's PR'd that a couple weeks later. I believe it was early November. There is a pattern with TSA if you look close enough.
Mr. Bolduc has stated that there is a 'lag time' for when they actually get approvals/quals and the time in which TSA ok's the PR (it's usually a couple of weeks). So, a couple weeks after the 17th is 31st of October, that's today.
They are not going to PR a TSA contract or IDIQ today on a Friday.
My opinion? It was inked on 17th and the contract will be PR'd next week.
Some investors here are selling at EXACTLY the wrong time, which only confirms that it's about to happen. How many times have you waited and waited for something to happen only to 'throw in the towel' and sell and the stock rockets a day or two later. Many here will find that that is about to happen to them, yet again.
It's no more complicated then that.
