I never start looking at a trade without looking at the share structure and I trade regularly. I hadn't thought of the share structure as merely being a scare tactic. But in this regards, as the discussion pertains to HLNT, yah, I'd think that scary fits. LOL
I asked why an RS wouldn't be necessary. I would think and hope that the answer would be that there was adequate funding for both sustaining the business and growing the business, developing the Delta production schedules and moving forward with fleet deals, which we have heard nothing about so far even though we have been waiting for months.
I'm not saying nor suggesting that HTI is in trouble and I would really have trouble finding that to be the case. But a 60+% drop in the PPS is not just normal profit taking. It isn't any more normal than looking at the share structure is abnormal for a trader, amateur or otherwise. And while an RS is not on the table and may never be required, most traders whom have been around for awhile have heard that before, right before you know what!
JUST TAKE IT ALL ON FAITH
The share structure is more apparent as a scare tactic by those invested in transplanting fear for FACTS.
For those who inspire to a balanced perspective while "claiming to engage in discussion", let's go: Is there evidence the board, CEO & company has posted regarding the R/S inquiry? What evidence do you have to suggest one is necessary? Where is the other side to the story? (I've seen the questions just NOT the DD to engage a rational discussion-- just rhetoric) Where have you seen filings suggesting HLNT would do one or feel the need to? Why is it necessary to do so? What's the Market Cap for this novel business?
These questions might provide insight into the matter. I'm waiting to hear an intelligent perspective on the matter in order to engage in discussion on the matter...
