They haven't bought a single share since December. I think you probably have something in the short-term with shares being forced lower, so someone can accumulate. That would be easy to do. What concerns me is where does the SP go when this market finally corrects. We're at a five year high in the market now.
It said in the silver lease PR that the deal was supposed to close on the 20th, that's next Tuesday.
I strongly doubt that PTQ is buying back their own shares cheaply by pushing the shares down. The bankers and their friends are the ones that would have the ways and means to keep the prices low and accumulate shares.
