RE: RE: More simply put larry12, when you have the option to buy those 8000 shares per 1 share you own,what do you think the s/p is going to be at. It will be at or probably lower than the orice you buy it at so, what's the point of buying under the bond holders plan. It's not like you will be those shares ata discounted price and the s/p will be alot higher than that discounted price. Can you imagine? The stock would crash the first day with people selling.
