DB,
It is some simple math to understand were the boards stands on the stock price.
Example:
If the majority share holders are BOD's, they are (somewhat) locked up, unable to sell their shares.
They would hate to see the price of the stock go down just as much as any of us on the MESSAGE BOARD.
Emil's estimated loss from $0.40 to $0.17 is $80,500,000.00.
I am sure Emil and the BOD have a very strong plan to insure we are all well rewarded for our patients.
