Prowler, I think we both know that you already know the answer to that question. I have always frowned on convertible notes. That was mostly because I didn't have any. For Tom, I am sure it is a good deal. But, it also can be a good deal for shareholders. The goal is probably to get the share price up before selling shares on the market. Tom wants the price up to sell, and everyone else on here wants the same thing. But I can tell you selling right now is just plain stupid IMHO. However, it does give folks like me and you an opportunity to load up really cheap shares just waiting for the opportunity to sell them later for a nice profit!
