Sending out a PR premarket would boost investor confidence. That would be a smart move.

Look: I don't think it is bad that the SEC stopped MTEK from trading. When MTEK resumes every trader (short or long) will know that this company is not a shell or a scam. Furthermore IMO MTEK needed this little push to take it to the next level again, meaning listing as "current information" status on pinksheets.
