37M shares @ .035 = $1.295M. Convert 700,000 commons (in two years time) = $1.85/share. That's with no profit. Pretty confident maneuver there -- I would have held onto the commons, personally.
Of course, in the Pink Jungle it's anyone's guess. Perhaps they can be converted for far less than market.
Good stocks are obvious. Extensive DD is how you convince yourself to buy a bad one.
