There is something that you can really do instead of asking this very question on the board...ask it directly to him, John Lampl. Straight from the horse's mouth as they say is the best way to get the answer you are seeking for.
You could keep going in cycles about this very topic if you are going to nitpick on everybody's thoughts on this, "blackout phase."
Ask him for clarification, simple as that. Here's the website you can go to and fill out the contact us form. https://www.usglobal.com/
