I think people realized the 72 hrs were up and figured something was wrong. I almost sold then, but the possibility of the HUGE pr coming out prevented me. Wish I had sold I'd be buying back today at more than 50% off.

PS. Does anyone see the economy turning around anytime soon?

I think insider trading is the least of our concerns right now. I think much of the selling was just disciplined traders/investors being disciplined--which they often get flack for on this board. In this case, this meant selling large parts of their position when June 21st didn't bring the closing of the Mineseeker deal as promised, and selling the bulk of their positions when Dean's June 30th self-imposed deadline approached and it was looking like nothing would actually close. Oh, and of course, the 72 hr window with Newby had passed with no funding pr.

These were at least 3 pivot points around which disciplined investors were making their decision to sell over the past 2 weeks (I know personally some of these folks). So far, they look pretty wise. I am no trader or disciplined investor, and as such, I still hold all my shares. However, I wish all those well who can make an honest profit, whatever their strategy.

As dismal as this all is right now because of the interminable delays and the fear of the unknown (A/S increase on the way??), the market cap is puny--under $15 million, in fact--under $10 million. So I hold and wait like many here.

Just remember that it's possible to get information that would typically be classified as insider info from sources other than the insiders themselves if you're well enough connected. Would that be considered trading on insider info, or just doing good dd?

You are entitled to your opinion. I am not putting words in anyone's mouth but the words 'insider longs' were used by iKauai, not Manti. No doubt some would have known in advance about funding not going through but his wording hints there are people here who did. It just seems that too many people are looking for conspiracies or others to blame and I for one am not buying it.
The pps tanked for one reason...the PR. You can attach any meaning to that you want but the correlation of the pps dropping and the PR is a perfect 1. GLTY
