IMO ANTS next PR should be a status report on how many shares they have bought back to date. I personally doubt if they have bought any since the company has no cash. But if they have, that would certainly give a boost to the share price. I would expect responses to say "why should the company tip their hand"? If they cared about the shareholders more than they cared about themselves, it would be the right thing to do.
An earlier discussion on this board said that an investor group was possibly buying the shares as opposed to the company. If that were the case, the float wouldn't be permanently decreased. It would just be held by a group that was "associated" with Ants and it could be dumped back on the market at any time.
