Craig,

<<Maybe we could have gotten some people with substantial firepower to soak up those shares before the price got as low as it did.>>

From my perspective the Series C offering was so much more damaging than the Series B offering because of the "applicable pricing period." A low closing price could affect at most 5 days for Series B conversions, while it affects a Series C conversion price for 4 weeks.

Calling in an airstrike (if we could) would only work if it could be sustained for many days or weeks. Propping up the price at say $1.50 would be been pretty expensive, I believe. $2 would have taken millions. If we had figured this out months ago, we all could have sold long and bought back in when it hit $1. This wouldn't have taken any cash, and is probably what the ANCR bears were telling us earlier this year.
