I only speculate that the possibility exists that the company is in control of all events regarding the pps as well as the timely issuance of pr's and there disposition. If as with the buyback, the independent investors are to buy in at the best price possible without forcing more buy pressure and the associated pps increase, it must occur over an extended time period. Could it be possible that those big buys at the end of the day result from some arrangement between the company and the investors to buy at the average day price or high or low and be orchestrated through one or more of our MM friends? Again I only guess at this and have no knowledge of such nor am I aware of the legalities of this but often when preferred shares are distributed such time and price conditions are stipulated, and if fully reporting you would see it on sec, we're not. Sorry for wild speculation, too much time on my hands lately.
