RE: RE: This is nutsYou guys are assuming that it's management against us, small shareholders, wanting to get the price down to buy back "our" shares at a low price. In fact it is all of us long term shareholders who truly believe in this company, even if management drove us nuts over the years by overannouncing and underdelivering (but it looks like they finally got their act together by doing the financing and starting construction) and who are not interested in selling a single share in the buyback (why would I sell at $2 when I know this thing will be worth at least $4 when contruction is completed in a year?), against the short term holders who are looking to make a quick buck by selling in the buyback and move on to the next hot stock.
Therefore in this period where the buyback share price is being determined I am quite happy to see WND down, it will bring down the buyback price and benefits all of us long term holders. If it'd be the opposite of management trying to pump this up before the buyback I'd be the one making a few calls to the authorities saying this looks fishy as they would directly benefits themselves by taking advantage of a high priced buyback with the tons of stock options they just gave themselves. However I have to say so far I'm impressed by Jeff not trying to do that (we'll see when the buyback is announced what happens, i.e. what's the price and who sells into it).
