You maybe right but that will expose people to waking up and finding that the settlement has been consummated (overnight) while we have been informed that the appeal has been reopened. There has been too much work -- we know that for a fact -- to craft this settlement for it to be abandoned. My son tells me that frequently in these situations the party with the strongest legal position has to wake a recalcitrant party (in this case DVG) by causing them to stare into the stark reality of the litigation outcome. The last little shove if you will.
Also, why start massively printing shares again? Call Greenshift, you will frequently talk to different people, when in the past they did not have staff to even answer the phone. They have a larger compliment and haven't had to dip into this piggy-bank to stay in operation, much less increase the number of employees. They have found some way to pay the bills without resorting to previous behavior. Doesn't mean it won't happen again, but the above risk is very real and why I will not try to time this whirling dervish; too many facts argue against it.
Also, I am not sure how strongly people feel about the settlement possibility. With a week to go there is no building PPS momentum; if folks were that focused on just that outcome I would have expected a higher PPS by now.
I know that it sounds cruel, but if some get caught in a rapidly increasing PPS vortex because they sold hoping for the PPS to fall after the settlement appeared off the table -- they will find no sympathy here.
