I just had a thought, 567, that would support the idea of buying at the ask (aside from your point that it helps the price go up).
It ALSO could lessen the 'dilution' this stock will see by giving CGFIA the capital they need but lessening the negative impact on your future share value.
In other words: If you BUY at the BID, you're only digging the DILUTION deeper and faster.

GO CGFIA!
All comments are in my own opinion and should not be substitute for one's own due diligence. They should also not be considered as advice for purchasing or selling any stock.
