You've probably discussed this previously but I must then have missed it.

Are the defendants legally permitted to buy, or to have already bought, PTSC stock?  That would fall under insider trading rules, correct?  If not, then at minimum, they would have had to buy it much earlier in the game, no?

Thanks for any replies.

p.s.   side notes.

Big... I once was a DHIA field tester for the U of Mn. when I was in my youth.  Naturally, referred to as a milk maiden.  The hard rural times, in hindsight, offered up some of the best times.  My family all comes from Packer land and I am watching the as we speak.  I went to school a year in River Falls and spent another year in Denmark, courtesy of Wisconsin.   

And, if you will, put me on the guess list for settlement for Jan. 4th, a friday and after hours.   That's the PTSC that I know and love.
