"Sum - would it not be also in the best interest of the insider shareholders to get the maximum price for their shares? Could they not counter this hold down by releasing select infomation to keep the interest up?"

It certainly would, but I don't speak of insiders as those necessarily being shareholders, but of those wanting the company for their own needs and therefore wanting to buy it cheaply. I think those that value this company are already in for the most part, which would explain why we are not seeing any real acquisition and hence an sp that relates to real value. What I think we have is shareholders who have, interests that want..... and those (speculators) on the sidelines waiting to be investors once this baby becomes sexy and looks like it will make them some money, these people being the ones who will contribute to driving the sp up.
