i agree with you there is no "new" interest. however, my point is - once this hits radars - it will attract people (mostly short term traders) all at once and due to the relatively small public float (32MM out of 141MM fully diluted) the price would rise quickly since those wanting out will have gotten out and the supply/demand curve will almost instantly invert. while the short term traders wont stick around long - they will more than likely leave a higher stock price while some that werent able to get out in time stick around for another run/exit point. this effectively increases your buy price as a long term holder.
if i like a company and think i have found a story that others arent seeing/or seeing differently - i will stay on the BID but also take any large offers when the ASK drops so that i can accumulate without increasing the share price.
