ETAlien -- makes no difference : Hey folks! I see when the shares come out and are free trading. For example, if I know I can sell my locked up shares on April 19th, what's stopping from short selling as many shares as I want right now, today, and covering them with the shares I have free'd up on the 19th. Exactly, absolutely nothing. You're writing like someone who doesn't invest in PP's often, or deals with locked up shares, or warrants etc -- you're just casuing Sh** where there is nothing to worry about or even think about with regards to this issue. Sit back and relax dude -- don't look for problems where there aren't any.
