Staggerlee you are so wrong. I would have loved a secondary, more exposure. When a company announces a secondary initially the stock goes down then it typically goes to new highs from the exposure. Art, you are absolutely right. Also Staggerlee if you think Liberty exercised to prevent a secondary to prevent the stock from getting trashed, did it maybe occur to you ACTV wasn't going to give Liberty a new option unless they exercised. I believe that makes sense. Did it also maybe occur that Liberty knew about the Walzien effect. T say they did it to promote the stock is comical. Liberty is a smart group of people and maybe they believe the company has something big and wants a big piece in which they do now. Oh yes, when Liberty struck the deal they actual were paying a big premium. Let me also say, the launch was sketchy, there is a reason for that when Hindrey joined TCI, the first thing he did was tell everyone that TCI will not preannounce launch dates because of the public scrutiny it caused when they missed targets. Look what happened TCI under his leadership, went from 12 to pluto. By the way TCI announced it would be launching in late July. Do your homework and you will see. Samuels was in a box with the question because TCI controls the launch not us. We've been ready since December of 98. I hope it explains it a little better.
