Lots of dead money here in PRGL!

Lots of negativity here too, with shares waiting to be plucked for their weak hands!

Looks to me like all the investors holding the $313K of of PRGL stock, have lots of DEAD MONEY just waiting to get marked up to a higher valuation on production.

when you buy or hold a PRGL share you get part of the black "pot of Gold" from all of those who have folded along the way or shorted this stock. Its only a mater of time before PRGL starts pulling barrels from the plant and all of those holding and owning the shares will benefit. So, now that we know the meaning of "dead money" it doesnt sound so bad after all. You cant win the pot if you sell and miss the ride. Those hoping to join in later risk leaving their cheap shares behind.

Dead money (poker) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_money_(poker) In poker, dead money is the amount of money in the pot other than the equal amounts bet by active remaining players in that pot. Examples of dead money include money contributed to the pot by players who have folded, a dead blind posted by a player returning to a game after missing blinds, or an odd chip left in the pot from a previous deal. For example, 8 players each ante $1, one player opens for $2, and gets two callers, making the pot total $14. Three players are now in the pot having contributed $3 each, for $9 "live" money; the remaining $5 (representing the antes of the players who folded) is dead money. The amount of dead money in a pot affects the pot odds of plays or rules of thumb that are based on the number of players. For example, a common rule of thumb used by many Omaha players is that one should raise with a nut low hand on the last round only if there are four players in the pot, and just call if there are only three. But if there is considerable dead money in the pot, this changes the odds to favor raising even with only three players. The term "dead money" is also used in a derogatory sense to refer to money put in the pot by players who are still legally eligible to win it, but who are unlikely to do so because they are unskilled. This can also be applied to the player himself: Let's invite John every week; he's dead money. The term "dead money" also applies in tournaments, when a player enters who has virtually no chance of winning.
