We may never know. But one would think that he doesn't need another single share. What he needs, which would align him with the shareholders interests as any public company CEO should do, is a path to increase the share price substantially.
I guess I can't imagine the complications of trying to get his products into production, but it's pretty clear what needs to be done to get the share price up and nobody would benefit more than him.
Why he would be concerned with day traders is beyond me. All stock companies have them. To spend an ounce of energy on them is wasted time that should be used on focusing on the important things.
I hope I'm wrong but the only reason I can think of for any delay in the next P R is that it will not have any concrete, verifiable news on actual production or sales. Otherwise I think he'd be screaming it from the roof tops. Just my opinion, but it is what my gut tells me. Here's hoping that I'm wrong.
