Struck me as odd when it was reported that he did not join the BOD in the private room for lunch. Could there be some friction? If management believed warrant purchase would help long term value and short term price stability and have now found otherwise, I could see a problem there. Shareholders have long called for distancing from S/L but, again, this can come at a heavy cost as the guy can sell massive amounts and still profit all the way down.

Looking for Ward's Higgins ruling by next Wed. as I think it was being expedited with regard to a Fri. deposition schedule? Positive there, should bump us up some.
