$1.25 per share initially seemed kind of disappointing to me too, but then again, that's a 50% increase from here at least, and after the recent price action, I guess we can't complain too much. Still, it seems to me Morris kind of sold himself short here in a way.
"I wonder if the big boys behind Eurasian were holding BULM down for all these months, in anticipation of this day?" Me too. However, these guys can't flat-out prevent people from buying shares, and BULM's volume has been pitiful lately. I guess that might finally change now.
