that is a last hope and prayer, that this increased A/S is a head fake to pick up shares and retire them, but wouldn't that be 3rd degree theft, a?
And any company who does such dishonest antics is deserving of failure! and any company who pulls such crap and burns investors like that aught to be prosecuted..... it happens, yes, I know, but it is shady tactics and such shadiness is theft in my book.
