Re: Bear Stearns Stock Purchase Agreement After the last conference call, I had the distinct impression that additional financing would come from the SP's when needed. Now, CEO Schwartz is going to the equity market and at a very unfavorable stock price. I could live with the small dilution now, but I have a feeling that this is only round one (where is the support from the partners?) I said in an earlier post that offering shares at this price was suicide. I still think it is. The announcement today is not according to the plan as I understood it. For this reason, I am out as of today. I wish you all the very best! Alan
