,,,maybe a better question to ask is why were insiders granted so many options,,,,,,no harm in them so far, especially as most of these options if not all, have expired worthless,,,,but they are dilutive to our common shares as we all know and they will be re-granted at different strikes later I assume,,,also that 55% held by insiders is made up of individuals with somewhat different protective interests in my view.

So the nature of any deal or deals coupled with this debt retirement will affect insiders differently. KD and HL I suspect work to get a larger chunk of RVX at each opportunity that comes along and which 2017 presents to them...... its DMs job in my mind to counter any one entity having a controlling interest, because this changes the company dynamics enormously, as in control being one sided.

Hopefully we get a completely new entity to do a PP come mid 2017 or a deal of some kind that is good for all common shareholders. I think that is the only ace DM holds over KD and his gang. Cuz DM is not in the lab nor is he analysing data,,or designing these trials,,,he should have one focus right now and that is increasing share price so when this debt is actually retired it is of minimal stress to the existing share holders which includes himself.

Well positioned companies grant options,, they just dont gorge themselves on them,,,,,,,,and a good number of insiders buy in the open market with their own cash in hand......I can only surmise why they do so!,,,they probably believe in their company and that the share price at the time is depressed!,,,..jmo
