Tom: can only chalk up the SH postings to "old habits are hard to break".....your comment on Nuthouse/Stockhouse is well founded imo, the early news out of the fda re competitors is better than anyone could have imagined (except maybe for MB) but that has been covered there was an interesting reply (to me at least) on SH by Compost in response to my belief there is a PR blackout imposed on dmx (PR as opposed to NR's of material changes) during the 20 day trading period that i believe took effect immediately upon the announcement of the deal....Compost's hypothesis is that Acqua may have quietly bought up shares in advance of the announcement and could be using those shares to keep the stock price in check during the 20 day period.....there is no way to prove the hypothesis, but it certainly makes sense to me (even if it is somewhat unethical, but when did that ever stop investment bankers)....essentially, acqua could buy up stock knowing that it would likely be able to sell the shares at a profit "post announcement" and at the same time know that it will be able to replace those shares that it sold for a profit at the discounted rate proposed in the financing agreement.....seems almost too good to be true from acqua's viewpoint the possible blackout (now day 14 of 20)explains the low volumes and the total lack of interviews by rebecca and the hasty CC on 2Q results with no question period......the possible selling by Acqua explains why the share price is being held down during the pre-arranged "blackout" period, when imo, the stock should be moving up on low volume based upon the fact that the street has been made aware of expected future events with likely timelines the possibility exists that this type of "game" could be replayed repeatedly over the 13 month drawdown period, but i doubt that will happen as i believe the real show will begin after next friday and Acqua will be happy to use its "grease money" shares as its base all just theory, but it certainly provides a possible explanation for the peculiar trading since the Acqua announcement
