Tell your friend no, that is not what I would do. But as I said, I WOULD make sure that it was filed as I said, on the Thursday before. If it was so close that last week was even a possibility, then another 6 days should have been PLENTY of time to do what needed to be done.
Or...was NP just unaware of what a BTD application really entails and just shot his mouth off again?
I hope I am wrong and it's filed today, but the damage to the share price has already been done.
