German Soul, you've hit the nail on the head, in my book. THAT is the way to do it. It's not like he has to retire 3 billion shares. If he plays this right, he can do as you've indicated, and create an ongoing momentum that can land us in a very stable and solid market cap while not losing a dime of his own paper value. Again, I think the man is savvy enough to see it.
Even without any of that happening, MYEC is still an easy 10 bagger at least.
Just a great opportunity.
