dlaserman, As I believe you are alluding to there are a number of factors at work here.
Factors such as assets, cash flow, revenue, profit, debt, shorting, law suits, outstanding orders, checks bouncing, 10 new accountants, AND A LOT MORE, etc.
When you try to look at this in total it is a very complitated picture. And we shareholders don't have a good understanding of any of this, in a factual way.
The fault of this is with the company, because they don't tell us much. The occassional press release is ALWAYS glowing news. They NEVER tell us what they are really doing, or why they are doing it.
What few facts we do know have been largely the result of the excellent Due Dilligence on the part of a few investors (Thank you very much). This is NOT the way it is supposed to be. I can readily understand why the company doesn't want to be more forthcoming, because much of what they've told us is now suspect of being lies. And we're beginning to hear a drumbeat of serious hankypanky going on behind closed doors.
I would be very careful of drawing any conclusion on what may turn out to be a totally false premise. As in:
"We don't see the 0/S go above 2.5 billion for the remainder of the year."
Exactly what do you mean by "We"?? Are you a Frenchman or do you have a mouse in your pants?
