A) If Kim "is not ready yet to move the share price up," and is therefore intentionally holding the price down, then he is quite possibly the worst CEO of all time, one of the dumbest human beings of all time and also possibly involved in fraudulent behavior.
Everyone, most of all Kim, would benefit from a steadily climbing share price. It would mean far greater credibility for the company. It would mean when he sells his shares to fund things, he'd get more for less and it would continuously attract new investors because it would show a track-record of decent return on investment.
B) At this point, most shareholders would be encouraged if the SP was 12-15 CENTS, much less 12-15 dollars. I hope that is someday true, but being here for over a decade so far with virtually nothing to show for it is not a confidence builder.
