Mike, on MWY, it would be totally crazy to offer 250,000 shares at a price probably lower than they just got through buying 250,000 back, PLUS very substantial attendant offering/registration costs relative to the amount raised. I wouldn't be surprised if it is misreported and this is with respect to some specific transaction (past or present). If it isn't, I will not consider buying another share no matter what the price, as this means that mgmt is stupid beyond belief.

You're right Mike, that is weird. Its not enough to make a huge difference in the economics, but it sure should raise questions about management.

<MWY is offering shares. This is the most unexpected, perplexing thing I've seen. They have $28 million in cash. The offering would raise only $2 million.>

Could it be related to stock options that are about to be exercised?

(Don't follow them, so this is suggestion for someone who is interested to pursue).

OOOPS!--Offered my two cents before getting all the way through messages. Looks like you already answered it.
