I expected today's reactions yesterday. I found yesterday on this board to be most docile and understanding. For a while, I was disoriented by how well people reacted. :)
But I feel like I'm back at home today!
I think the disgust some people feel has been registered and duly noted. I'm in the gift camp also, but I have seen many "Christmases" over the years on many small cap stocks, so this one is really unremarkable.
I wish the PP had been done at a higher price, but it's done and we're obviously not going to change it, but to comment negatively (but civilly) on it is part of the reason this board exists and is so good.
The "gift" was very likely given for decent enough reason.
By the way, what's this $1 blended talk, to me that makes no sense. Averaging .85 and $1.15? Haha, that's the equivalent of trying to draw one's attention away from an issue with an excited "hey, look over there!!"
