HERE IS THE PRAGMATIC BOTTOM-LINE...
Trying the "lipstick on the pig" trick does not appear to have impressed the shareholders! It is very clear that the investment community is far less than impressed with the outcome of the Cowan litigation!
IMO, even after the share price took a significant "haircut" on Friday, it will continue to head further south!
BTW...the trading activity for the last few weeks has been a bit interesting! Just a guess...some folks got wind of an imminent settlement and jumped in for a quick windfall! Some of these "traders" may well have gotten "whacked", as a consequence of the settlement being magnitudes less than "promoted"! Were these folks "victims" of listening to TAUG's compensated consultant?
