Desertjackel.... It wasn't about the grassy knoll!

I think the line of reasoning you are referring to was concerning the possibility of some posters using this board for the express purpose of manipulating the pps of PBLS. Some might desire an artificially low pps so they can add to their position on the cheap. However; the only reason I see for attempting to keep the pps artificially high over the past month or so would be a classic pump & dump manoeuver.

We all know the drill. Someone claims to have an inside track and everything is great, great, great {while in reality they know troubled times are coming fast and that the pps will tumble} Especially in our particular scenario where we have many committed longs controlling 100's of Millions of shares; the probable effect would be for a majority of the longs to continue to HOLD their shares, hoping for a good outcome.

The whole time the pumper is pumping the stock they are actually selling off their millions of shares before the pps falls another couple 100% which they have a pretty good idea will happen very soon. If this were to involve say 20/30 M shares the benefit to the pumper would be significant, perhaps in the quarter million dollar range. Not bad for convincing some conservative individuals to hang on for an extra 6 weeks or so.

Of course this is all pure conjecture and not intended to level accusations at anyone. I just find it unusual, considering what's been going on the past few weeks, that anyone considered a huge backer and investor in this stock would be totally silent; especially at this juncture. Either it is a legit leave of absence or perhaps they're done with us and they're not coming back; simple as that.

"Hi! My name is Joe Friday. The story you have just seen is true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."

I sincerely hope this investment works out well for you as well as the many other longs who are still holding out for something more palpable than the current fare. I still expect more news by weeks end. GLTA.
