IMO, anyone with the slightest bit of creativity could have turned the seeming lack of activity in the Pinks to STAU's advantage. That opportunity still exists today. But, it would necessitate Corley admitting that he isn't God, nor God's Son, nor even his third Cousin, twice removed on his Mother's side.
I don't think the answer lies with his BOD pals either; who, IMO, couldn't care less about Corley or his company except what it can do for them.
I guess one can read into it whatever they want, but I see no PR's until current. As far as no one investing in the market last year. I don't agree, maybe pinks specifically, but not the market as a whole. All JMO.
