R.E.B.

I spoke with the treasurer of PIOS last week concerning the short interest.
He said almost all of it is related to a $143 million convertible debenture(convertible into 9.1 million shares) which works out to around $15.75 per share. It is in the best interest of the holders of the debenture to short the hell out of this stock (which they started doing last year around $16). If there is a buyout, they just convert at the $15.75 price, so they are in a win-win situation. I believe their yield on the debenture is over 9%.

I am long PIOS,
