Rickets
or
Other Deficiencies

Many posters on this thread are not helping us get to the bottom of the AZNT story. You are one of them.
I have done a swack of excellent D&D here, but I still cannot find where the "rickets treated by oranges" story originated.
I know you are just repeating it, I and everyone else are just ignorant, and I should do my own D&D, but I begin to suspect that you may actually be wrong.
100% totally irresponsibly wrong.
This is stupider than B52's dropping bombs from 60,000ft. They can't fly that high and never bomb from the combat ceiling.
You are the ignorant one here, no doubt about it.
Rickets are not treated by oranges, I don't care what your script says, rickets are treated by sunlight.
If you ever got out of the cave, that would be obvious to you.
Boy wonder contends B52's drop bombs from 60,000ft, you contend rickets are treated with oranges.

AZNT : SI's Stupidest Thread

Why not give up your D&D charade and admit you know nothing about rickets, bombers, Indians, or oranges. I suspect you actually know nothing about anything or anyone, like anyone. Let me ask my question again, who confirms the historical usage of plants found in the Amazon Basin and Highlands. The historical usage is what allows these plants to be sold as dietary supplements. Claims made by those providing historical usage proof to the FDA do not require any testing or verification. You don't suppose they Ask The Indian and then package it and sell it do you ? It really does appear to be the way it works, doesn't it ?

"Hey Indian"
"Yuh"
"Will this kill you."
"Nope"
"Will it make my hair grow"
"Yuh"

A dietary supplement which contains a new dietary ingredient (i.e.,
not on the market before October 15, 1994) will require evidence of a historical use or other evidence of safety establishing that it is reasonably expected to be safe. Manufacturers of dietary supplements which make a "statement of nutritional support" must have substantiation that the statement is truthful and not misleading.

So let's see here Rubie, let's use your numbers:

You claim there is 8 Million shares outstanding after "THE PURGE". I got that.

And there will be 2M shares that will have to be bought at a sawbuck a share as part of THE PURGE or it's the BIG HOUSE for them. OK, I got that now too.

So after the dust settles those shorts will have been forced to cover. Right? Where once there was 10M shares owned in the market there will now be 8M shares again. I got that.

So the shareholders of 2M of those shares will divvy up that $20M windfall. And the shareholders of the other 6M will have the satisfaction of standing tall and breaking the backs of those cursed shorts. That would seem to be the result of your scenario.

I would suggest that it is too bad they won't get any of that $20M though. They will just be stuck with their proper shareholder value, eh?

What is proper value Mr Bmart with 53m shares issued and outstanding? Even if they call in 40m or whatever they claim to be doing that still leaves about 10m plus the preferred. The last quarterly report stated they had 40k in revenues with a net loss. How much is a company worth that makes nothing and has issued about 18 million more shares in the last 12 months?

Not so convoluted, bmart, it's pretty simple really.

The court won't be ruling on the stock price. The market does that.

If there exists a short position,
and if you succeed in busting that short,
then that short will be history,
it will no longer represent potential buyers of the stock.
So then you're back to, as you say, 'achieving proper shareholder value' based on the fundamentals.

Among the fundamentals unknown at this point - What happens to the 61 millones shares which we are told are to be exchanged for preferred shares? Will they stay preferred shares, or be convertible back to common? If convertible, then convertible into restricted or free trading shares? And how can they exchange some of the common into preferred and not all - are not all common shares created equal - in fact, is that not what the word 'common' means? And are there in fact only 79 mil issued at this point? Will the company be printing more in the near future?

I think these are logical questions, and logic says to me that, based on the lack of adequate answers to these and other questions, that there will be a run for the door when news or rumors come that the short has been covered.

I doubt that shorters target companies randomly, it is my impression that they are like wolves among caribou - they pick off the weak and the sick, the stragglers. Although being human, they likely screw up a lot just like the rest of us.

Anyway, once your short is busted, you're back to the market's perception of your fundamental business, and from $120+ mil market cap you've got a ways to fall, imho.

We'll see whose logic stands up over time. ........ cheers
