I"m sorry but the fact that this was announced today smells very fishy. I don't buy into the "stick it to the shorts" theory because surely they aren't that dumb.
Instead I think they believe shareholders are incredibly naive (and they are), and will be so giddy with this Perkamine news that they will be willing to go soft on them at the meeting with regard to all of the things we've been talking about all year.
This is a psychological play on the shareholders, not the shorts IMO. If they announced a meaningful partner, a timeline, revenue expectations - SOMETHING - I might feel a lot different. Note too no 8k yet either.
That's just how I see it. This is very disappointing as it just falls in line perfectly with my most skeptical thoughts about the company.
