??"Flipper" was a dolphin, not whale. I see you as more of a full of himself version of Nemo...
As to Barbara, I don't know her and maybe she is a trader with far, far more resources... My feeling is she is free to trade as she likes, as are you and I.
I have confidence in Emil/Barbara to do the right things for shareholders. Why? Well, it has to do with 621mm shares they gave back to shareholders. Oh, Emil refused a takeover which would have paid him about $.18/share, BUT WOULD HAVE LEFT SHAREHOLDERS HIGH AND DRY, in my belief. Sticking with Emil!
I've given lots of effort to VPLM, but never have returned 621mm VPLM shares to shareholders, have you?
