Not really... other than to prove the point that while EV is "building capital", the shareholders are holding the bag.

Using the chart here is how I see it. Assuming EV is dumping shares into the market and shareholders are buying them.

If an investor bought 30,000 shares on 1/28 at a price of $0.0150 (assuming bought at the close - intraday moves should be ignored since this is a "start up company" and people should not be interested in making money too fast. "Instant Coffee spoiled a generation" http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=59914822), then EV gets $450 for building capital and the shareholder now has a $450 investment. Everyone is happy.

Now fast forward to 2/15. The price is now $0.005. EV is still happy... EV has his $450 for "building capital" and the shareholder only has $150 to show for his faith in EV and his "start up company". Said another way, this shareholder lost 67% of his initial investment.

Let's change some dates and assume this shareholder actually bought into the hype after the RS and bought 30,000 shares at $2.00. Again, EV is happy because he has $60,000 for "building capital" while the investor only has $225 to show for his faith in EV and his "start up company". Said another way, this shareholder lost 99.6% of his initial investment.

Please, please, can anyone educate me where this scenario is flawed and how anyone (assuming we should give EV money and hold on tight) is making any money?????
