JP - Anything is possible within the human imagination. However, there is wishful thinking and then there is reality. The reality is what has occurred, as I've posted. But, just for the moment let's assume your onto something as you wish to believe.
First off, if a change in control was imminent based on the USPTO ruling and this is what it brought us 1. a rise in pps 2. then reduced funding 3. then the pps drops. All to the benefit of YA and solely YA - Then, I'd really be scared to even imagine what would really happen if a change in control "SELL" really occurs.
Why? because recent events would lead me to believe YA will protect itself once more and abandon the 4.99% restriction before an actual change in control occurs. Leading them to convert EVERYTHING they have in order to fully capitalize at today's lower pps. Which would result in another shareholder NIGHTMARE!
In business, when your product is in demand as a possible acquisition. YOU DON'T GO BACKWARDS AND DE-VALUE THE POTENTIAL SALE PRICE BY MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE BUSINESS. YOU DON'T CUT BACK ANYTHING - YOU PRESS AHEAD AND Sell THE WHOLE UNIT AS IS. You let the buyer worry about the rest. You don't bend over backwards without a deal in place and if a deal is already in place, we should already know. This is a public company - not private.
