There is simply no way that Calm Seas gets hurt with a steadily rising share price. If it sells the shares right away, it still makes 25% thanks to its 20% discount. If it holds as an investment then it profits even more from a rising share price. (Note that increased profit from holding shares is in no way at KBLB's expense but comes as a result of holding the stock same as any long that held for the same period.)
In fact, the only way that Calm Seas can lose is if the share price drops faster than it could sell them.
RE: "Our financier only gets hurt with a rise in share price. They were getting a lot more bang for their buck back in september when it was a penny."
Nor can Calm Seas really benefit from pumping either: If it pumps the price up, then it has to pay more for shares.
So both Calm Seas and KBLB benefit more from a steady even rise in share price than a highly volatile one (Could that be where their name came from?)
Longs also benefit more. The only ones that lose are traders and flippers. But one stock is pretty much like another to them and there are plenty of highly volatile pennies out there, so even they don't lose, they just get a change of scenery.
With income (soon to come) and a move up to a real exchange (NASDAQ probably within a year or two) will come more price stabilty, IMHO.
