i have to agree with you that the actual amount is not that impressive on it's own but what I am looking at with this company is that Caland, Shefsky, Moeller and two other insiders are all buying. The cumulative amount continues to rise and one has to ask himself why is this happening and why is it happening now. I'm thinking something is coming down the pipes-but what is it and when? Is this being done in order to get the sp up in order to satisfy VAL in order to get their shares out of the way? Is VAL even going to part with the remainder of their shares? I wish I had the answers to the questions-as I suspect other shareholders do but I guess we'll have to wait it out and see what happens.
