Agree as well. They have done this trick pretty regularly. It is not duplicitious but follows a clear pattern. Pull some data from the lab and publicize it with some excitement. Do a bunch in a row to ladder the price up some. Then offering.
A LIFE offering is an interesting thing as it failed big time last time. I don't know if you want to do a LIFE offering again without being sure the amounts will be bought. They might but I would be nervous as to what another failed LIFE shows about the ability to woo more investors than the usual small pool that currently exists.
