Hey Lurker, nice post of your thoughts. The only thing I would want to add is re: buyout. The common shares are not in control of the company. Clint has a lock on the preferred which has voting control of the company. A buyout would have to wrest control of the preferred to control the company. Now if we go to a higher exchange that will have to change. Companies listed on the 3 higher exchanges are not allowed to control the company thru super voting rights on a preferred stock. The common stock must become available to vote on required company business. This is my impression. If wrong please correct me.
