They have to do their utmost between now & 1/28 to depress the pps. to accrue shares cheaply. They are not stupid. They know that after Mark's Fox TV interview a lot of new folks will be doing their DD on SFOR which may lead to them taking a position in it. They also know of Mark's Jan/Feb timeframe about a deal being announced. Once that PR hits the wires the increasing trading volume will force them to at first fall silent and then start to sing a more positive tune IMHO.
