Explosive situation

1. With an extremely low float of 40 million shares (NASDAQ), when news breaks on this stock, it would create historic explosions to the upside

2. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are no options to trade on MESO (NASDAQ), which adds to less manipulation and suppression, imo.

3. Another thing to note: I know of no other, repeat NO OTHER public listed company where the CEO owns over 20% of the outstanding shares. Talk about having skin in the game and the mojo and big cajones to take this upward (Hello Professor ;-))


BTW, I dug up some info on the top 20 holders as of 08/31/2015:
