As I just mentioned in a previous post, the post PEA period will show whether this blackout strategy was brilliant or foolhardy. Because of the secrecy, we can only guess which. Given the delays and stock price, I think we all would lean toward the foolish side, at least for now. In some regards, we ourselves will also be seen as either brilliant or naive.
But I always come back to the experts they have on board who KNOW this market inside and out. They have to be leading this strategy. AE has mentioned or seriously hinted that their hands are tied by the 25+ NDA's and what can be disclosed. Even the DOE report we saw was not for public consumption.
Call me a fool if you like (and I may call myself one down the road) but I am betting that there is much more going on in the background, much much more that can only start to be revealed after the PEA.
Any blackout after the PEA and we can all hit their offices with giant WTF signs. There is no reason to hide behind NDA's once the PEA is out.
