I've said this before but theres no way the wall gets destroyed in any reasonable time frame (Less than 1-2 weeks), and optimistic projections are looking at a rate of 2-3 months. There isn't any reason to actually buy shares at .0025 right now, even if you value activeminer above that (which I do). Buying shares at .0025 means your money is going to be parked doing nothing for a long time, while you could use that time to trade or even have the money sit at just-dice.

Walls can disappear quickly once they start coming down, but 1—2 weeks would be a fantastic time frame. I think the dip in bitcoin prices over the past week hurt securities as people looked pull their investments out so that they could short bitcoin during the drop. With the price back hovering around 100USD/BTC, I think a lot of money is coming back into the securities market in general.

I think if a community member like TradeFortress who is heavily invested in ASICMINER through his BTCINVEST fund hedged some of the fund's ASICMINER holdings into ActiveMining, it would be a major vote of coup for ActiveMining, but such a long-sighted move is hardly justified until the wall shrinks to <10–25%.

Not everyone will see it this way. Many people realise committing now at 0.0025 means ActM will be closer to realising their plans - only *then* will the price rise above 0.0025. Personally, I wouldn't risk putting my money elsewhere and assuming I can time a re-entry at 0.0025 just before the wall is consumed. I'd be afraid to wake up one morning to a price I 0.004 and be forced to buy back in with a smaller stake than before.

Yeah I got burned on CIPHERMINE last night thinking I could make a few LTC by trading against BTC during the LTC/BTC price ratio drop. Vircurex went down with my LTC in tow and CIPHERMINE's wall got bought out by a single investor. So be wary of thinking walls will be long-lasting
