Agreed IF, good to have you aboard...with the debenture arbitrage unwound should see the end for any need of the RS and shift the focus to the increasing sales and market share. With all the fuel in the pipeline to be rolled out by year's end, including even better quality product hitting shelf later this year or early '20 your price targets look very doable, JMHO....Opt

Guys - Debenture Arbitrage only works when the price is ABOVE the conversion price which in this case is above 2.45 which wasn’t the case. This situation is quite rare in the present-day world, where algorithmic and program trading has proliferated to sniff out such arbitrage opportunities.

Got it, so whatever it is called, when the financiers of the bought deal short the stock to hedge their debenture risk. I thought it was debenture arb, but there must be a different name. They openly said they were short the stock in October to hedge their debenture risk.
