Great thoughts and comments there Friendly. I will add one tid bit to your note. If Management knew of some particular information that could indeed increase the share price to such great amounts, buying back shares would not just be unethical but illegal. And PLEASE I'm not suggesting that this is happening for the non-investors to jump on. As has been posted on these boards, I believe that any share buy-back has ceased since early June.
So that fact included with the "code of silence" tactic could imply that there is something going on behind the scenes. Just a further thought that keeps us guesing.
To add to the speculation, as Freindly points out, with Dr. Jackson coming on board adds some seriousness to the project. We know the drill results have said that for years now to anyone who really wants to investigate that fact as part of their due diligence.
