Better to rid your mind of ALL thoughts of any "due date" or "drop dead date" ... as they no longer exist. Better to HOPE that the PPS stays EXACTLY where it's at (and that you can find the funds to make additional incremental buys) ... as that means that GCS and its investment banker, and MAXM are in complete control, awaiting the regulatory approvals that must be received.
Once those regulatory approvals are received, then it will be in GCS's best interest (as well as our own) for it to drop a mind-boggling 'Super 8K' that will eviserate the short interest,and evaporate the present ask ... and send the PPS into pennies.
IMO, forget about the 'bid'. FORGET ALL ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S MEANINGLESS AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
