Timing of PRs and stock price increases are pivotal for QMC management. Let's say they announce revenues via PR and SP goes up. What benefit is that to the company?
I see it as a negative benefit for the management of QMC at this point in time. Particularly if you're going to award stock to your officers or employees based off of a dollar value. The lower the share price the more shares awarded and potential higher gains.
The new CFO wouldn't have been able to receive shares at $0.10 recently if they PR'd revenue two months ago when a production sample was purchased (speculation of sale). He would have bought at $0.15, $0.20, or $0.25, etc. (See SEC filing history from last summer and fall for share purchases and awards. They were all close to current market share price.) Also, the 5 new investors for $0.5mm would have purchased at a higher SP with smaller gain potential.
In my opinion, running up the share price with small revenue announcements serves no benefit for the company at this point in time. It benefits any investor wishing to sell, no doubt!
