As far as I know, there are not enough shares publicly traded to do
this; the company itself owns over 50% of itself, which not
surprisingly, is why management has survived there so long.

I could be wrong (they may have issued more) so it may be possible to
buy them, but I don't think so....Otherwise at the price, someone
probably would have...It's only about $26,000,000 at street
prices...(Assuming 13,000,000 shares outstanding)
