I am not one to defend their compensation ..actually far from it ...but just to clarify- most of their salaries received last year were at a stock price of .035 ..so at the current stock price their compensation for last year actually is only about 1/3 of when the shares were issued (except for CQ and PT who received half their comp in cash). And their stock options from last year are under water as well.

I state the above to make the point that the only way for the family and directors to realize their compensation is for this company to succeed and for the stock price to go higher. So unless PQ is scamming his own children, I do believe he is trying to make this work ..although I do believe he is in way over his head and is not capable of making this work on his own.

As Pic said all we need is for sentiment to change and for investors to see clearity into the future. Funding commitment from AS would go a long way as well as him coming on the BOD ..if that is in the cards. This could serve as the confidence boost this stock needs.

Will the stock go down early next week, who knows, but if it does it could mark the low for the year (a couple days after the 10K was the low last yr).
