How many retail investors own that amount of shares on this ticker? At this moment that would come down to $ 17000. (= 2.7 percent of outstanding shares)
The institutional investors have much deeper pockets and also get their shares at an incredible discount (cn). Not to mention the unfair benefits of market makers and to make matters worse they join hands all the time and all their highly advanced computer gizmo's.
Having said that a number of the shareholders (retail + institutional) keep holding and adding but there is no such thing as 'the HPTG share holder' as there are a lot day traders, players etc. etc.
If the company was financially healthy they could get a decent bank loan, the ceo has in the past honestly spoken about "never been financed properly". A decent P/O would be the desired and expected landslide but by then the cheapies have dried up.
It's a high risk high profit kind of play as we all know. But the fact that board members are willing to bleed with us is a hopefull sign and also the political landslide thanks to VW helps big time IMO.
