Hi TheKid1, I like your post cause it reflects the reality.
"what The Hodges have to gain by keeping the stock low and shareholders in the dark!? As they own the same common shares as everyone else......"
The only way Hodges can gain from above is that their family, relatives and best friends are accumulating and buying GPSI shares at current super discounted pricing. Yes, this is insider-trading but heh, the world is not straight-forward.
There is no better temptation or winning bet than buying a company that you know is of great value at super-duper dirt-cheap "all you can eat Buffett"..... Imagine that Hodge and gangs are putting all their savings NOT into their bank accounts but buying GPSI shares instead.. Great investment / retirement plan for sure. Otherwise, who is buying and accumulating GPSI "endlessly" at this level although I am just bidding a tiny bits for flips.
As you said, hopefully Karma will catch-up with Hodges.. As the Executives of GPSI, Hodges has the responsibility to reflect and uphold the true value of GPSI... and not to sabotage GPSI PPS, especially to those who did the private placement under his salesmanship. At 50plus, Hodges' end may be nearer than he thinks...
GPSI has gone through optimism and pessimism cycles. Currently, it is in the pessimism cycle..
Go GPSI, GO!!!
