with the possible number of shares that S. had left by calculating how many shares had traded over a month's time. I can't remember who that was--does anyone remember? I know that BaNosser was also trying to keep up with it for awhille. It is strange to me that SBSH, NITE, and UBSS work so close together to hold this within a certain range--they don't let any of the other MMs get ahead of them ever! If anyone gets in their way, they seem to get it back under their control in minutes. From what I have observed during the times that I do get to watch, they seem to be working together. I am not sure if they are the ones in charge of selling the S. shares or not, but it looks that way. It has been a very controlled market for a very long time now--except for a couple of days after the Q and we had some big time sellers. It seems to me like they should be through before too long. I predict that is when we will see things turn for PTSC. Do any of you think that RG, DS, or PB had a plan laid out before they moved into this situation? I do, but I would like to see others comment on it. I can't see that anyone of them would like there names associated with a penny stock if they were not sure that they could get a deal done--and I don't think that they would have moved in before the USPTO made a final decision if the deal was contingent upon that decision. I have looked at RMI a little bit--I think there is a strong posibility of something there. GL, ads
