Dear 1-DAY-TRADER. INCL: Thanks for this interesting example. I would appreciate your answers. 1. "They are in a real financial crunch that they have to dilute the stock just to survive from one quarter to the next." Wasn't it unpleasant part of their long term strategy to be independent? Are you sure dilution is the only option? 2. "Read the insiders selling report and you will see what I mean." So, what do you mean? 3. "They reported huge losses even after getting approval and marketing their product." Approved? What do you mean? CE? 4. " Someone is pumping it and we should take advantage of this scam. " Is that the only explanation? Scam? What do you mean? 5. Have you seen some peaks on the chart day before small company announce approval, distribution agreement, etc? 6. Why do you think Co cut distribution expenses in Europe and decided to concentrate on approval? 7. Why do you think Co rejected convert. deal in June? Did they know that there is not enough money for this year? 8. What may happen to their product (about 3M in current assets), which is "dead in water" now, if they get approval?What may happen with revenues? 9. What Co may do with convertibles if reasonable financing is available? 10. What may happen to shorts if they consider tangible assets only?(G) This is not to say that INCL is not a good short and that I will not try to short it on Monday. Just curiocity.
