Your "as to the poster with the assumption that the price is artifically being held down to accomodate PTSC buyback....the number of shares PTSC has purchased to date would not buy the MM a good dinner and a glass of wine." is innacruate and missing the point.

MY assumption is that the pps is being held down, I did not say it is PTSC that is doing it, just that they apparently do not mind it. Additionaly, you misconstrue what I said about defending a minimum pps. If PTSC said that they would defend a pps of say 50 cents, I might jump in with both feet as would others. It would be me and others like me supporting the 50 cents, not just PTSC. Catch my drift now?
