We are talking of a stock price coming in possible dollarS, therefore, the slight difference of a penny or two now, is not going to make a difference, and yes, it pays to lose some unsure shareholders, rather than lose it all in having the authorities like the SEC shut down your entire stock while being investigated for weeks or months, just because management decided to placate those who demanded explanations.
When the news hits, it will be so vital that investors will come rushing out from under rocks to call their brokers in time hoping not to lose a lot while chasing the rising price per share.
