I would think that anyone coming onboard as top dog would get all inside info available, however he still needs a compensation package; warrants, options, stocks. The fact that he bought stocks is baffling in light of NDA, but it must be allowed somehow, under the NDA or SEC rules. Our group on the board seem in a daze at times, but I don't think they are completly nuts to risk it all.

As far as (a) A successful M & A acquisition brought forth by Mr. Goerner, (a merger or acquisition with TPL excluded), maybe this means aquiring a company without TPL as a partner of ours, not necessarily that we merge with TPL. Maybe, somewhere along the way, TPL had a company in mind that could be rolled up into one happy family(ptsc,tpl and new company). I doubt it but you never know with this group. lol
