Just for the sake of argument, say the O/S has increased and the TA is ungagged....
What if, by necessity and because it would spoil deals and ruin plans, Keith is unable to give an adequate explanation for the increase in the O/S.... not because anything's wrong, but simply because for the sake of the company he can't give the true explanation without sacrificing a big chunk of the company's immediate future?
How is that a good thing?
You criticize the CEO saying he's only interested in silencing "yingyangs"... yet that's what you're asking him to do with the TA... ungag the TA to silence the "yingyangs" who keep complaining about it. What's the difference?

Six of one yingyang and a half dozen of the other if you ask me. Either one would be only to silence the yingyangs, and I don't think doing so if it's sacrificing the progress of the company is a good idea.

Now, if ungagging the TA advances the goals and future of the company, then by all means... open it up!

I just don't find your reasons to be any more compelling than those you attempt to counter.

lazyeye, one other thing to consider that is a bit unique for HMGP is the shares held by just the members of this message board. I've been invested in many stocks and have read many a message board but have never seen where such a small group (this board) controls more than the total number of free trading shares.

In most cases I often thought the happenings on a single message board would not be able to greatly affect the share price of a company's stock. However, in this case, I don't think the number of shares held by people here can be ignored and must be thought about. Big Mur made some valid points. I don't see Keith as doing anything more than attempting to look out for the best interests of the shareholders and his company. His past use of shares and his own very large holdings leave me comfortable in our current situation and allowing him, without knowing for 100% certain what the current structure is, to update the shareholders at the time he sees fit to do so. Others will likely share a different opinion but since this is a message board where thoughts are talked about, just throwing mine out there as well :)

And you entitled to your opinion, which is all it is. Remember though, until you have stood in a man's shoes, you cannot say with authority, what HIS reasonings are, nor his intentions.

Have you sat eye-to-eye with him, or do presume to know that what one man does, all men do?
