Well I think all of us on this thread hope that it does open at 9c. And maybe it will?
As a non-holder - I still hope that all holders makes some dollars out of this stock. That has always been my position - hoping that holders are not going to lose anything.
However, irrespective of my hopes for holders - I think the reality of the opening price might be lower than some of the expectations noted on HC. I think (beliefs acquired through experience) that there always seems to be a considerable gap between hopes and reality.
In my opinion and experience - confidence and belief in a stock are crucial at this end of the market.
