Look at it this way. Tom Burgess, with his two million shares, never attempted to enlist rank and file shareholder support in order to create a Zulu United Front opposition to the deal. He didn't do that, did he? Therefore, he must be pleased, if not the exchange itself, then by what he must know is coming down the pike. This is a good indicator. Zulu, actually, is not a bad deal right now. And best yet, it can still can be a good buy down the road, depending on what happens to ESVS. What's crucial is the ESVS share price keeps an increased course, because Zulu's share price contingently trails it, much in the same ratio we've seen lately. But what I like best is Zulu's bubble has burst. Because of this there'll be less pressure and I think pricing tables will be set by Nasdaq trading tendencies rather than the good ole' OTC:BB system. Thus, Nasdaq sets the table for ESVS, with Zulu always the dinner guest. It's my bet until both stocks trade under one name and one price, from time to time, Zulu will be the better buy; and from time to time ESVS will be the better buy. But these buying opportunities will only when market makers don't have their respective percentages in line with the ratio guideline. Probably the best thing to note is Burgess wouldn't care to dine over the .08 meal you were proposing to feed him. I think he's already a guest at a table much in abundance. Keep the meal hopeful and make sure everybody gets to eat. It's the best way to go.

We were discussing if ESVS diluted or not. Yes they did, but not for free as was suggested (ie, the stock was not given away, but paid for with ZULU stock). Since ZULU shareholders are trading in their stock for ESVS stock, there are now more shareholders, but a larger valued pie to divide, so individual shareholders in ESVS don't lose value in the transaction. What remains to be seen now is how the market reacts to this in as it becomes wider knowledge. BF
