Leonardo and Mr Biggz, You guys coming one a day, does not scare the investors away. They are not diluted, those are restricted shares. But why would they give up 30 something percent? I would guess for some of the following reasons: - Public traded symbol. - IPO'ing takes months. Inital S1, wait, Second S1 and maybe you go public. Why give up the equity? Simple, if you sacrafice in the short term you win in the long term. Now, as a public company, they will get capital for more 2 things: 1) Turn the intangible assests into tangible assets 2) More acquisitions to come... What does those 2 things do? A few more things: 3) Increases company valuation. 4) Achieves NASDAQ listing, not OTC:BB. 5) Increases shareholders value. 6) Attracts larger investers. At this point, you would go back and repeat steps 1 and 2. Stir occasionly for 2 weeks, and let simmer until heat reaches $20.
