IMHO, based upon today`s volume and the average daily volume for the past 6 weeks....if ptsc is buying, then what they have accumulated so far is going to do nothing to positively affect share price. Three weeks ago I posted the same message and the volume has decreased. Unless, they are responsible for more than 50% of the actual buys every day...The shares they will have purchased by SHM will be the least important story to date. IMHO, the dilution of this stock is relative. If they were to sign 10 more deals and increase revenue to levels that would be astonishing for otcbb company, then 400 mil odd shares would not be considered unusual. Bottom line...if the story unfolds the way most longs expect dilution will not be that big of a detriment. It will also provide needed liquidity and provide other opportunities for the company. I think an announced divy of 8 cents payable to shareholders of record on 12/31/06 would cost the company about 32 mil,give or take, and would do a hell of alot more for share price appreciation than what 32 mil of share buybacks would do. We all expect increased buying and share price increase as we approach 1st quarter numbers. The divy can only help fuel and maintain the momentum. Best to all!
