you say that with confidence. as i faintly remember there are many ways to short and not only in the USA. that is what creative financing is. if you know the stock is a buck and you are going to buy new shares for .75. you now make another .25 shorting. IF it being a nonissue why bother to have the bod sign es contract. IF HE had no intentions why would he mandate it. I DON'T have an answer but QUESTION any motive in the downward spiral financing. It was brought up many times on the old silicon investor before agora. remember we went from 30 million share to over 400 million shares. that being an issue. yes it is ancient history we live for the future, but the same people are still in charge. my point my view. dumb analogy but would you let a bank robber guard you money? HOW MANY WRONGS BEFORE WE FINALLY ADMIT WE HAVE CHANGED NOTHING
