there are four alternatives 1) Issue more shares (dilution) 2) sell part of company (lose control) 3) Dean sell shares (BEST scenario) 4) BK (unlikely) #3 is best option....i dont care what price he sells them at...this is best option to raise cash...since approval is hopefully only 30 days away.. #1 is second best option....dilution will hurt all of us...but better than other two options Kimble PS: we could get approval this week and all of above will be moot :)
