RE:Dec. 16th 1. I agree, I think Shiseido will settle before the court ruling. They have a weak case. I think Shiseido was praying for Replicel to go belly up and owe them nothing and have full access/rights to their Asian countries. But that won't happen with Andrew's deep pockets.
2. When that happens, I could see the stock pop to $2-3 as investors will see this company as alive and well. It will get a lot of attention
3. With the new stock price, Replicel dilutes the shares (5-10M) to get some cash. They need it! With it, they create a safety net AND start putting money into the device and other research to help progress things faster
but if they cannot get funding and/or Shiseido fails...I think Replicel goes bankrupt within 18 months
