We joked around as to what "close" meant in days/weeks/months when this Del Mar article hit the wires Nov 22, but IMO, why even say this at all, if there is nothing on the stove simmering?

Employees/BOD members have to watch their P's & Q's when they start flapping their lips, be it a media article such as this, paid for or not, or a company press release, or watch out.

I can't help to think, even though a "themainman disclaimer" attached by me, this to be a signal that a JV deal or some other form of financing is around the corner.

Again, why even take the risk of being quoted with such a statement?

In the mean time, on the edge of my seat M-F...LOL!!!
