``Whether or not you think it`s wise to hide these settlements, is it right for the company and TPL to not disclose, thus controlling the share price and enhancing the buyback program, could this be deemed unethical?``
TPL doesn`t have to disclose a gol darn thing. They`re private. PTSC discloses every quarter, by SEC regulations.

If a guy`s in a financial emergency and has to liquidate his BB stocks, then he deserves to be in a financial emergency. I know I`m cold in saying this....But aren`t we always the first to acknowledge that BB stocks should only be played with money one can afford to lose, and/or explicitly knows the risks and consequences in holding?
Sorry, IMO to campaign for putting on the squeeze for one`s immediate gratification should not supersceede the company`s intent for longevity for both themselves and their shareholder interests.
This is business and strategy at work. We invest and accept the risks along the way.
We`ll find out in due time.
