Question for the board - What do you think will happen to the share price once people realize no more shares can be purchased by anyone large or small past Oct. 4th for .50?
The bank threw small retail investors a bone by making it possible for us to get in at accredited investors' prices. Don't forget that it was only 5 months ago the bank sold $50MM dollars worth of stock to accredited investors ONLY. They snapped those shares up like hotcakes. That deal wasn't offered to us...we were paying a buck fifty @ share at that time ":~O
I appreciate a management and BoD that doesn't forget its' most junior partners.
There are investors who patiently and quietly wait like lions for shareholders who didn't understand what this was to dump their shares and move on.
Think about it. The guys who spent $50MM dollars aren't calling this investment a "flop" ...but the guys who spent a couple hundred bucks are. I'm going with the guys who spent the $50Million! ;)
