Lets post the whole answer to the question Pit instead of an exerpt. After all, the whole answer is what people want to know, not just the part that is cut and pasted so the CEO can be blasted.
Q: After the RS, why dilute the shares again to get the share-holders back in the hole?
A:You're making and assumption that I can't speculate on. So lets go into theory. We know that MEX purchase price is $17.8M approx. Our NPV calculations on the samples (70,000) is $70M (1,000) per sample. So we are paying 17.8M ...to get 70M NPV. This isn't dilution, this is a huge win for all shareholders. Just quadrupled the value. The market seems to settle in on the right valuation over time. Now, Lets look at history. We paid a total of $7M for the 5 acquisitions we have made so far. And our market value went from $2M to $25M in that time frame, so we got a net $23M of value for $7M in cash. The market still had us a $25M valuation prior to Friday. I would argue that is correct (basically our sample base asset value, minus our debt and shareholders deficit). Again, this is theory, but it is the theory we run our company by.
You can always tell an idiot, but you can't tell them much!
