Just one thought to add.. to put the "selling" of the MFO into context.
Longs have been in the position before.. when the share price was collapsing, we had no other financial options and it was drilled into our heads that the MFO is here to make their money - therefore SINCE anyone watching the stock price collapse would have predicted a continuing decline.. the MFO WAS NOT STUPID FOR SELLING THE SHARES AS FAST AS THEY COULD (they needed to recoup their investment and make their guaranteed profit)..
FAST FORWARD TO NOW. What is different?
1. the share price is NOT collapsing.. in fact it is rising.
2. believe it or not our prospects for "other ways of putting money in the bank" have increased - including pending Grant money, partnerships and even alternative funders like Aspire might be an option.
3. We have actual money in the bank, so we are not forced to sell shares just to keep the lights on.
4. we have many, many catalysts on the near horizon (and believe me, if we can see the catalysts, the MFO has AT LEAST as much information to make them confident about our prospects.
So because of these things, it is not a foregone conclusion that the MFO will be making the same "selling" decisions as before. People look at past behavior and maybe don't consider the new context.
Now, do I just blindly trust that the MFO will make a smart decsion:).. no. But even if they don't make the smart move - we as shareholders still have the above 4 things in our favor. So if shares are sold into the market it will not have the same long lasting effect as a "death spiral" might have.
Bottom line.. if we continue to move forward with the good news (COVID and non COVID related) then there will be a much higher demand for our shares and the 5 percent the MFO owns will find a home -IF they decide to sell.
