Right... shareprice should look different... but you can see its relatively strict connected to the divs. And i think its not a miracle why this is the case. Friedcat is relatively silent and this means doubts. Of course we can think it will jump to 2BTC soon... we only dont know.
And even if its relatively certain... selling now could still make sense because we dont have a clue if the price wont drop to 2.5btc soon. A loss never could be made in by divs in the short time. That means one could buy the double amount of shares then. (Except big shareholders of course.) But the small traders "make" the prices and the orderbook is way too thin.
When i look at the market... Asicminer is at 0.64BTC and ActiveMining at 0.0008BTC. They both work on 28nm process node if im not mistaken. Both have shown in the past that they can do IPO's though friedcat is the only one that has shown he can bring out ASIC's. Asicminer has 400,000 shares while ActiveMining has 10,000,000 shares. Thats 25 times more. So ActiveMinings Price compared would be 0.02BTC to get the same percent of the company like one asicminer share has. Both have relatively good chances to succeed but only the divs keep asicminer's share price high.
If the shareprice really would be set because of future grows then activemining should be valued way higher i think.
Let's not forget that there are ~ 400K AM shares vs ~ 10M ActM shares. Assuming they ever reach the same market cap it would be 0.64 BTC/share for AM vs 0.0256 BTC/share for ActM.
