Adding up the numbers you can see that about 51.6% of all the companies shares are closely held by the 'big people' . These are the people not looking to make $1 a share or two dollars. Everything os totally positive here. The low volume is exciting because as soon as some volume trickels in this is taking off. With that number, that's about 7 million shares let for everyone else to buy.not counting what we already own. So we should be pretty close to a move higher..
Is anyone else out there besides Dave?
