I believe many of AMBS' top people are awarded options to purchase shares at a ridiculously low price for many years to come as a part of their compensation package. If AMBS goes up to $2 in 3 years (pre-RS numbers) and someone has an option to purchase shares at .08 cents.....that's a pretty sweet deal for them!
That is how top management become far less vulnerable to dilution and short term problems than shareholders who buy 2 million shares with their own money. There are probably several here who own 2 million or more shares with an average cost basis of .075 cents. That's $150,000 of their own money they put at risk. Versus several of top management are awarded options on say 4 million shares or more, which they didn't put at risk any of their money. Yes, they are putting in their time, and time is money, but it is still a very sweet deal. Much sweeter than if they paid $300,000 in cash for those 4 million shares!
Warp: These top management don't care about short term problems with the stock. They know in 10 years they will be kazillionaires. You bought your 7 million shares at a very low price and are fortunate. You can wait 5 to 10 years for your payday. But what you seem incapable of grasping is that many longs here have different time horizons than you or top management have!
You don't seem bothered by this past years poor performance, compared to how Gerald said it would be. But for those who invested based on Gerald's statements and guidance, this has been a very disappointing year. And if your time frame is more in the 2 to 3 year range.....then this becomes an even bigger disappointment. Many speculators chose AMBS over other stocks that have gone up much more over the past year. (Opportunity Costs) So they consider this past 1.5 years as a bust. But not for you, apparently.
And so your pat answer is that everyone should be like you, buy in at .015 cents and hold on for 10 years! Great warp, we'll all keep that in mind.
