smitter, have you e-mailed SIPC much? Could they elaborate on their intentions to retire those shares thru e-mail? Or can they not say anything about it? Any word from them about share retirement, even if they just said they were still working on it, would cause our shares to double!! I guess it will happen when it happens. Appears that SIPC are straight shooters and not to worried about day to day share price like we are! Hard to have patience when there's such a BEAUTIFUL BIG POT OF HEMP GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW!!
