you need to re-read the post by ron.  if the suit holds up in court fish only receives 10% up to $100 million.  for him to collect the full $100 million, ptsc needs to collect $1billion.  i think you are smart enough to multiply numbers by 10%.  ease, i think the falling stock price is because ptsc, so far, is willing to let the only income stream be the MMP.  if ptsc decides to do nothing and wait on the Texas court case we will be in deep trouble.  as to the poster with the assumption that the price is artifically being held down to accomodate PTSC buyback....the number of shares PTSC has purchased to date would not buy the MM a good dinner and a glass of wine.  the market wants PTSC to show they are more than a shell for the BOD and S&L.  it is all perception and execution.  i wish all the best.   t'moto
