skumk,
Hi, there is a company here that invented a product that allows "drug testing" (for employment screening, law enforcement, military and other companies required to operate a "drug free" work place) to use a simple devise similar to the new 'do it your self" pregnacy testers but that uses a saliva sample.
That company, to the best of my recollection, also was in a situation as you describe. They were able to negotiate with the city a form of savings that allowed them to reduce outstanding shares through a buy back. From what I heard, (its a local company) they knew they had to lower the OS in order to move up (grow/increase investor interest) without causing a chilling effect on the spreading awarness in the market place of thier product. They could only do so by physically relocating to an area which was less costly to operate a business. They knew if they wentthe R/S route, the bulk of the investors who were local, would be hurt. The city and the company were able to come to an agreement which satisfied both parties because the city would gain or lose like the company except it would be losing jobs, tax income etc.
I don't know all the facts I only know what the rest of the community hears.
This is one of the things that puzzles me about R/S. I have seen personally only R/S's that were used for nefarious IMO, purposes but I have read posts where apparently the R/S helped a company grow. Like I said, I haven't seen one and with my limited experience can only imagine that for an R/S to work it could only do so with a company involved with a long established industry and not a company in a new industry that if it is to succeed needs to have the public become aware of their existence as it is, IMO the public that will provide the "market" or provide the "demand" and can only do so if it is aware of the very existence of the product and desire to use it. An R/S IM limited understanding would tell me the company is either not seeing things clearly enough to succeed or its all just a smoke screen.
This is where I am in my understanding the "effects" of a R/S. I know I’m probably wrong but I really want to understand how R/S's can be good to a new and emerging technologies growth. Can anyone help me understand better or at least give me a clue where to check out a situation where an R/S helped a new and unique company/product?

I don’t know if this makes sense, but I hope so as I really want to get my mind around this.
TIA,
Nez
