It seems highly likely to me that we'll find out tomorrow (well, today, your time) that G* sent a takedown notice to Bear Sterns last Thursday after the close for 470K shares that would have been sold on Friday. Today after the close, a takedown in the amount 340K shares is likely being sent, to be sold into the market tomorrow. At 7$ per share, these two sales will make about 5.6M$, leaving about 72M$ left to raise. At the current share price and market volumes, the cash proceeds from the amount of stock G* is allowed to sell under the BS agreement is not much higher than it's daily cash burn rate. So, we're not exactly building up a huge war chest with these sales. OTOH, every day that the cash depletion point is pushed back is another day in which G*'s 1600-odd resellers can gain "traction." It would seem odd, indeed, if we aren't steadily, if not quickly, building up daily MoUs and revenue. It's an interesting time: the predictable extra selling volume from the BS deal, in the absence of positive news makes this a good time for conservative shorts to cover, for others to unwind hedged positions, while the not-so-bright or greedy shorts come in late or double up. Meanwhile, long term bulls with an inclination to time the market should be putting on their running shoes, and getting warmed up, because I expect that as the BS deal nears its end (not for another couple of months probably) there will be a lot of jostling to get back into the stock at the bottom--who knows, maybe just in time for Thanksgiving!
