It's not a phoney pump to me. All the shares are valued but if all the shares are in investors hand JT has done nothing for himself, only for holders.
He needs half the stock trading up and the other half in his coffers to use as leverage, currency, back stopping any debt he may have to take, etc,
Many think it's all about the investor but it's really all about company valuation. The PPS and needs to rise on the trading float thus canceling those extra shares is a great tool to accommodate this.
All these shares (4B) are not in or going to be in hands of investors.. I'm pretty sure JT has a few B in house, in control, for strategic use as needed.
Stop over analyzing the opportunity at this point... But, at some point start judging for yourself what he is buying, how he is building self interest or shareholder interest... Right now it is shareholder interest.
That is the key to safe entry, safe hold here and it should continue for a while...
This is a hold, not a flip. It should easily go to pennies, .05 possible.
Why..... Flip ... Because you don't trust yourself.... Trust the process of JT building a company that has value for the future. In time as technicals show rolling over, then make decisions on exit... Right now this is in the very early innings..
