Everyone needs to think about these....my vote is YES!!!! (and I'm 70K shares long):
1) This is a speculative investment.
2) The stratellite to date is an unvalidated (but very promising)scientific concept.
3) The Company needs to further contract negotiations and make more strategic aquisitions of companies (through capital expenditure).
5) Increasing the A/S allows the above mentioned capital to materialize.
6) The "core" business will not likely make anyone "wealthy".
7) A successful Stratellite launch will very likely make many very "wealthy".
8) The growth in number and quality of employees is more than impressive.
9) Six weeks will probably not provide us with clear direction, but six months almost certainly will.
10) If you don't believe in Huff, his colleagues, the concepts, and the current management style, you should invest in blue chips and not GTE.
11) It is my understanding that by increasing the A/S, we can also help to prevent a hostile takeover.
