The old shorts win.
Longs eventually get a deal and win as well.
The MFO and old shorts win by skimming off the top of the potential. Perhaps in 2014 we had $100 potential. Now with dilution we have $60 potential. That $40 off the top went in the pockets of those who got cheap shares.
Everyone wins except those who sold for a loss, Ashcroft options (on Nov 6 if no deal by then), and the thousands who die to indications addressed by IPIX due to delayed drugs. And of course the old guys who lost a few years of party time due to the delay as well.
The price of progress. What a world!?!
