"I do not get what the PTSC BOD, for all their past flaws, is supposed to do today to get HTC and the others to settle for the big bucks which is the only way the share price is moving up."
Like you, it's painfully obvious they don't know what they're suppose to do either, so why have they been taking, and are STILL taking, $45,000 cash per month if as you suggest there is nothing they can do ?
Unfortunately, I think we all know.
Besides, this has been a long documented failure for Gloria, Cliff, and Carl, this is NOT a recent problem, nor is it contained to "HTC" or subsequent events.
Leadership's failure to "settle for the big bucks" has existed for at least the past 5 years, whether the failure to generate big licenses was due to DL or their own obvious lack of ability, our BOD and senior Management alone have personally benefited at levels usually reserved for successfully run profitable businesses with rising Shareholder Equity, Investor demand, and an increasing stock price.
If you look at the company's income statements, and compare them against what the Insiders paid themselves over that same 5 year period, here is the approx score:
PTSC Corporation .......... <$21,019,000.>
PTSC Mgt/BOD Insiders .. $4,500,000.
PTSC Stock Price ... .30 to .04
