OR Nurse (et al), All good questions, but this is all IMO. As a percentage of shares sold today by those that have a short-term view, say from $.50 and took profit and said good-bye - I'd guess 10%. And I'd seriously ask why at this stage in the development would anyone sell b/c there's a better than 50/50 chance this goes a lot higher as more Wall Street types start to dig into this partnership. Personally, I'm still buying a little here and there. It's $1.50. Even if I'm wrong and it's not $38, it's still a HELLofaLOT higher than $1.50...
Those that sold today for a short-term gain planing to get back in at a lower price sometime early next year - 5%. The reason I chose 5% for the volume for flippers would be b/c this stock has a long history, and a BIG majority of those that hold this stock feel strongly about the value of the IP. I'm in that group. And.....MDT is also in that group. The risk reward is far too high with MDT on the playing field.
I'm also in the group of those that bought too early and severely underwater. I take comfort in the fact that (IMO) - Mr. Martha views his reputation as significantly more valuable than my investment losses at this time. It's all situational awareness. So if he wants to polish that "I'm buying value" reputation, and he wants other companies to work with him in the future....then he will give fair value to the depth and level of unique features of our IP, and everyone is happy. If the BO deal is ugly, that's not good PR and other companies will view that takeover style as predatory. My view of "fairness" may be just worth nothing, but there is a thing called good-will. Either you think it exists in this partnership or it's too blue-sky and rainbows.
My only comfort is in the value of the IP, and the math. I have strong feelings that I'll get all of my investment back. And if my calculations/extrapolations/research is even close then $38/share is my best guess. More than that.... is payback for all of the anxiety caused by the delays, lying and BS. And I'm giving Mc the benefit of the doubt NOW, b/c I know he can't share the value and functionality of ENOS/SPORT.
I couldn't begin to determine knowing which is a shorter and which is an investor trying to cost-average down, except the trades that were for 100 shares or less. Those are shorters only looking to walk the share price down. I don't know of any paperboys spending their holiday tips buying TMDI stock.
Everyone else was buying and holding to take a bigger position, or dollar-cost-average b/c they are realistically admitting that they don't know when or how far this will go tomorrow.
Good luck to all. Regards,BK.
