Weeble, there's another point here that I don't think weo is making.
Ferris wanted to sell the shareholders out for a total of $6 million to be split between the then-62 million shares, and Bob had arranged a job with the buyer. Bob wanted to quit; Jones wanted to stay the course and try to build the company.
Ferris has wanted to sell you out before, and now he's wanting to dilute your rights. What's his purpose now?
Let's see, it lasted all the while he was CEO which was about what, 8 years? Then he resigned and down the crapper we went. Don't see any logic or proof the price would have tanked if he would have stayed sorry.
