That although we're not up in PPS by a ton today...remember that we have gone straight through the 50's,60's and into the 70's before this announcement. We and the recent buyers assumed alot of what was announced today was going to happen 3-4 weeks ago. When the 30 day stay appeared we, or a majority of us here, assumed a settlement was a done deal, thus all of the posting suggesting a settlement date. So in reality we've moved a great percentage once that stay became known. Today was just a certification of what we thought was coming.
Also a lot of us thought that if there was a settlement between the parties that alot of it would remain beyond our eyes to read. Settlements out of court before a trial usually have these agreements of confidentiality. Do we like that we can't see the $$$ figure...no of course not. Do we also like that we can't read about any royalities if they exist...once again...no, for sure we don't.
We just have to sit back and take what we have, relax a little, maybe even buy a little more if it draws back when these MMs start to cover their short sales, and realize JT and the BOD have really said all they can about these agreements. Thus is the world of out of court settlements.
On the flip side when April rolls around we'll be able to discern a lot more info about where we really stand monetarily and ...hopefully...JT and BOD will give us some new information about an acquisition they have proposed to make or even a notice of a proxy to approve one.
We're going to have to roll with punhes here for a while longer but the payoff in the next 4 mos could/should be substantially higher than it is today. JMHO...GLTA
