Stew,
So did I the first time through, but when I re-read it, I noticed it. It wasn't totally unexpected. Workers, bills and contractors are being paid in stock. I did notice that none of the corporate employees had been given any stock this year. So it looks to me like they have been working for no pay so far. I'm sure that they will get paid sooner or later, but when anyone accuses Mr. Guyer of "dumping shares", that is just impossible. He didn't get any this year.
Glad your back on US soil! Hope your trip was a good one.
Don't take my word for it, Do your own research! Then you will know it's true!
