>>>I was just emphasizing that they would not go to the cost of researching and filing the case if they didn't feel they HAVE a good case and a good chance of winning, because if they don't win, they get no fee.<<< Yes, and usually the plaintiffs' attorneys are the only folks who win a case like this. The shareholders who join will probably get a coupon for a 1/2 price dose of Vasomax per share, and the attorneys will get 1/3 of the dollar value of the coupons in cash (which will probably be at least 6 figures).

Linda, I respectfully disagree, There are many, many law firms that make it a practice of taking actions such as this - their intent is to get the company to settle in order to avoid the cost of defending themselves & the concurrent loss of focus, etc. I obviously didn't receive a set of the documents but I wouldn't be surprised if, out of any settlement, the lawyers first deduct their expenses (& maybe fees as well) and then split the remainder. Often this is just dirty business, played by people with "Clintonesque" ethics - i.e. - they don't look at a situation in terms of what is right, but rather, what can they get away with. Ah well, it will be interesting.
