>>> Steve, the lawsuits cover shareholders who bought from ipo date up till Jan 4th. People who were hurt by management's concealing of critical and material information . As a result they lost a lot of money. <<<

You know Tom, one thing you seem to be implying is that FMKT is already guilty. Last I heard, the way it works is innocent until proven guilty. As a shareholder since IPO day, I don't view my holdings as losing money. I have not sold one share, so what have I lost?
