>>> The authorization itself, is one thing the issuance of more shares is another.<<< Jummy Chin can do anything he wants. He owns 50%. I don't think this meeting has been called to get input and feedback from other shareholders. He wants another 100 M authorized, and the meeting is just a requirement that will present no real challenge to authorization. The interesting thing would be: why another 100M? Remember too, there are other shareholders with very significant amounts(they do not appear in an audit and filing because these things do not exist....being non-reporting there is not any SC 13D disclosing the lesser, yet significant amounts, of 5% or more ownership)and if Jimmy Chin benefits from an authorization, so will they. As Juanita posted earlier, one can only get hurt through magical thinking- there is a natural flow here and to push against it emotionally will cause more injury and insult than the flow itself. If magical thinking is a guide in our everyday lives, we should watch out when entering the market- with this or any other stock. In such cases, most of us would find that when we act in the market the way we do in our everyday lives, we lose money. Our success or failure will be determined by the ability to use our intellect rather than act out our emotions. These emotions have nothing to do with the market, or a particular stock itself- they exist only inside us. The market, the stock, Jimmy Chin- these do not know we exist. We cannot influence them or control them. Only our own behavior can we control. So far, long term investors have not made money here. Traders have however, and they will again. How soon...who knows? It may not even require a filed audit for this to happen. If it happens, it should be taken advantage of.
