It's interesting that Kimball got clobbered on August 3 when they announced their equity raise for this acquisition and now its back to its pre August 3 trading range. In hindsight, a real buying opportunity. Same for SBOW and VTLE.

90% of the time, when companies do an equity raise to make an accretive acquisition and the share price declines IT IS A BUYING OPPORTUNITY.

Just being able to do an equity raise IMO is a positive sign for a small-cap.

When a company raises equity to by an asset package with current income and lots of running room, why is that bad? If it raises per share results it is a VERY GOOD THING.
