Pennytips there is a lot of history here, you would have to go back many many years and do your own research to come up with your answers. As Mike1991 said he's been here for 23 years & others a lot longer. Stewguts explanation says it all in a nut shell, straight forward & simple for you.
Many of us do not want to go down that worm hole & rehash what woulda coulda shoulda happened, that's to late for that, we are now moving ahead and that is what counts wouldn't you agree? Tmmi has something & is still here for a reason and that is what is important. Plenty of history with this stock, you'll have fun researching it.
