So Eike...buying or not buying?You'll note we're not talking about an open market purchase or anything. Apparently these share came straight from company treasury and VEN.to would have to know about it. Except VEN.to didn't, according to the PR just published by Ventana.

The current number of issued and outstanding shares of Ventana is 86,600,131.So what's going on here? A crude attempt to move the market? Some communications breakdown?
