You are correct that I bought the option as it is more liquid than the stock. Sorry to burst your bubble but given the mess Patterson's have made of backing this stock (who would have thought? They are shite) the stock is not going anywhere until after options expiry. They gave stock to everyone who could not afford to exercise at expiry so they either have to sell the stock to fund the option exercise or sell the option and keep the stock. It's a market structure thing that happens quite often.
I already am a top 20 holder and the story is great. In a way the options overhang has allowed you to buy in at a price that does not reflect the last 12 months of development.
Even if the stock trades below exercise price I will exercise as with this puppy liquidity is key and as you saw when some Muppet bid up the stock 30%0to buy it and the same Muppet crushed the stock 10% to sell it. Building a position in this thing is difficult.

Intrinsic value, that's what I meant to say! Patto's strikes again... The worst broker on the street (Hay St, that is)! The soak needs to finish, and you are probably right, things should change after 13th March. Glad they didn't go with them for the second raising, but still dealing with the issues from the float.
