someoone wants to offer a premium at a "low" price as they are determined that they will pick it up cheaply for a projected X dollars. In this time of raping takeovers there is little reason other than the aforementioned for holding an sp down. Simply my opinion. Whether they get their wish remains to be seen. Pure guess on my part but I suspect if the sp is allowed to get to 1.50 we will see an offer by that point. They will say that NOT's average sp was around 1.20 but "we'll do a premium on 1.50 to be nice"
