For those of you, who still think, the last two years are not an orchestrated production, this post ain't worth reading.
The job for the agencies in the beginning of 2006 was quite difficult (remember, SP was 10 Cent then!):
"1. We will have to dilute the OS with about 100mio shares in the next two years.
2. The biggest shareholders wants (needs or is urged) to cash out in this timeframe
3. We don't want the shareprice to decrease/crash in subpenny regions (what would have been normal with a dilution if nearly 1/4 of the OS)"
With the help of three dividends they created a perfect communications rally and look, where the SP is today: 400% more than January 06, though we have 1/4 more shares.
No need to say, that we all are laughing at this "400%" gain, but you have to take a different look IMHO to understand the job done by the communications partner.
I have no time today, but will continue with two further points regarding a comparison of the shareprice pattern and communications after Markman and the current shareprice pattern after settlement AND a comment regarding the upcoming numbers in April.
