while it is a way to substantially increase the working capitol,  i would be a little dismayed if this were what happened.  i believe that the company used the free publicity to release a quick news release, but would not be happy if they used the runup, then forced a drop by flooding the market only to buy back lower.  while it is a legitimate way to make funds, it is shady strategy.  i am not willing to wait months to hear from this company when they are on the virge of big things.  second, we were promised an increase in communication from them. and while we may think they have always made good on their promises, this is one they have not made good on. and as peter meier said, its the little things that count. this counts for me. i want a company that will tell me how it is whether its good bad or indifferent. they promised more comunication and have not delivered.
