on the PTSC message boards, I would venture to guess that there are just not as many people holding this stock any longer. I don't think that Swartz is a problem any longer--so, with him not selling and fewer shareholders involved, I don't anticipate the large sell-offs that we had years ago. I remember the dividend announcement causing a rather large spike in s/p--if they decide to do that again, I think that we may have a very good response esp. since Swartz won't be in the picture. Good news from the USPTO could start the ball rolling--IF we ever get it. GL, ads
