If indeed they are going to buy back shares and retire them I don't think the pps will suffer much. there is too much happening right now for people to throw the towel in and give up. We know there will always be profit taking and flipping. Goes with the territory. but over all the pps has maintained and has gone up since the lows...and most importantly...very quietly.. slow and steady wins the race. I don't mind she creeps up and reaches new highs..All will be revealed in due course. I am confident Veal has a handle on things. Bashing hasn't done anything to the company or stock. the only problem is the daily shorting. that is always there.
