Sharky:
It would be my opinion that the insiders would also prefer a strategic alliance with partial ownership by an outside investor having partial, but a significant ownership position. However, insiders with all of their cheap option shares which we common shareholders have financed, may have different objectives. If so, then in event of a total sale the price preferenced option shares which Management holds would become a real rip off of the Common holders as we have significantly underwritten their cheap option shares. And frankly, when it comes to Management, I am not so sure regarding their loyalty to the Common holders!
