I agree but having 1 billion in sales by itself is meaningless. How long and how much money has GE made? Look where they are. Running a family business is much different then running a multi business corporation. They haven't even merged yet and they have faced a lawsuit, delay on buyback and delays on audits/filings. I will stipulate that at this time non of this is a big deal but until these get cleared up who knows where the PPS will end up. If this truly is a $4 stock after the merger then there is plenty of time between .05 and $4 to get shares. No need to be trying to prop up the stock price. If this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity then let people buy in lower and reap a greater return. That's if you truly care about people making the most money. And "you" is meant as a collective you, not meant to be personal.
