Okay Jeff, I'll give you credit, you seem to find logic when others can't including myself. Now tell me, what in the world would make a CEO mention adding additional shares to the pot before the earnings come out. It seems to me like if he (Gruder) can shake out all of the mom and pops, as we're called by the by the affluent on this board, by mentioning the dilution, then fund manager can buy the shares at the today's price. Just maybe they (the fund managers) can pump the stock once they own it and Gruder makes a killing and those who didn't have faith in this crazy sequence of events lose out. It's a trust thing. It's all about trusting Gruder. Why would he do things in this order? I can't figure out how this is watching out for the stockholders who have supported this stock for years. Hopefully this isn't true, but it's the only logic I see. Help me see this differently. In my post #5666 Message 4088571 I vented the same frustrations that others have here today. It's true that he has until May 15 to report. Still reporting early couldn't hurt, so why wait until the last minute? I don't know that he will but we'll see. Had Gruder not waited until the last minute to show the world the first profit Alydaar made, I think the market would have reacted differently. The stock would have moved up, I think. A good comparison will be tomorrow when IAIC takes the stage. Let's see what happens there. I think the circumstances are similar. I might be right I might be wrong, don't know. Anyway the big question I would like answered is "why would a CEO watching out for stockholders do things in this order?" I can't figure it out. Thanks, -Robert PS: TRUTH what's your opinion? It would be appreciated also.

Jeff--- I would not call it a non issue. I would call it an issue that has not only kept the price from rising as the sector has but also dropping the price. Now that the steps you mentioned above are already being taken it seems dilution is on the way as it is unlikely enough shares will be available to vote this down. IMO the only time to buy for any reason is with cash or credit and not dilution. I hope the earnings are great (but believe they will br OK) so the price goes up but anyone that believes the price will go up enough to cover the proposed dilution is still waiting by the fireplace for Santa----
