Ineedgold,

since you asked the question, you convicted yourself a long time ago in my eye's.

The direction this board is trying to be led into lately and certain revelations by posters has been very informative to me. This is because I never take anything at face value and always ask why something happens.

"Why" is by far the most important of the 5 W's and it always amazes me when people dismiss it as unimportant.

By the way Ineedgold, management has not come anywhere close to selling 50% of their holdings. Including those members who left the company and thus sold their options. They have combined only sold about 6% of their holdings over the last 2 years.

T. Obradovich, the latest insider to sell has many new business ventures on the go. He has sold small portions of his ARU holdings off over the course of the last 2 years to no doubt finance them.

Since you like scenario's, here is one.

ARU is about to do another private financing. It will be done for $50 a share.

This scenario I think is far more plausible then yours.

F.F.
