I can see where your coming from, dont think thats whats happening though.
to me see CEO as trying to weave CBAI vertically through the industry in key areas to reap much money off services supplied at the various points in the vertical.
They may involve processing, storage, transportation, contract maintenance, search fee etc...
Its impossible to put a blanket value on stems as their value depends on their individual purpose, function, and quality.
I quality private stems are probably more valuable than a research stem. When CEO talks about valuation of the stem IMO he frames it in a way as to the value the market places on them. When he explains it he talks about it in a range value way.
IMO he is saying what he is aquiring is the value of the stem, as the stem market values it, rather than necessarily the stem itself.
He is purchasing the Value of X rather than X itself.
IMO
Either ur scenario or mine either way their both very lucrative. So I dont care if I'm wrong as long as your right.
Definately we both agree we would be fools to give up our position @ 500/1 with this company about to take off. We have definately earned our positions, hopefully others will see that also and not sell and vote NO.
Another reason he may have announced so early is it may gurantee a positive vote, as anyone who sells now disagrees with the split anyone who buys now agrees with the split. By mid April, most holders of shares likely will agree with the 500/1 r/s.
The only ones who wont will be disagreeing longs who held. That wont be enough to stop it.
He already knows he will have the vote.
