I don't think it has occurred to anyone that perhaps the reason TelVue was made a public company when it didn't need to be was to allow investors to make some money too.
Some of the larger shareholders are on the Board of Directors or in the executive structure or are company employees or relatives of employees who all stand to become rich when the company has expanded and is no longer under the yoke of shorty.
Remember, IBM, Apple, Google and Chipotle, some of the most expensive stocks on the big boards right now, were all once small fledgling companies and probably made more millionaires than the lottery.
