One of you wants to blame internet posters who have no control over company actions for the shareprice, and the other wants to pontificate about how idiotic critical posters are for continuing to hold.
Well, I'll remind the first that NO ONE HERE had ANYTHING to do with the comedy of ineptitude that is summarized below. I'll remind the other of you that you're the pot calling the kettle black. At least critical posters who hold have the carrot of the potential the MMP represents. Potential that even this BOD may be too inept to completely squander. On the other hand, after years and years of critical posting because of crappy company performance, you still come here to complain about critical posting. Perhaps one could argue that you'd have to be an idiot to continue to argue about critical posting knowing there's no way for you to stop it.
I'll add that, in your world, the kind of performance below should be left unchallenged and unchronicled. Simply put, you'd just as soon let them be free to squander and pillage. Even if change can't be effected, others of us are of the opinion that at least the spade should be called the spade. Even if it doesn't help, frankly, it doesn't hurt either as it's clear that the self inflicted wounds are the reason for the shareprice, not some message board postings of opinion. Besides, there's an easy way for the critical posts to be silenced. That's by those who can make a difference, PERFORMING! Maybe you guys should try to work that angle for a change.

While our BOD and Management hides from shareholders through the virtual meeting guised as a cost cutting measure, and doesn’t communicate to the market or with shareholders, I think it’s important to EMPHASIZE for the record what they have actually done over the last 3 years.
So combine the net income with the balance sheet figure and the PTSC BOD and Executives had $66.95M plus in assets with which to work during one of the most discounted periods in recent market history.The idea of a public company is to return value to the shareholders, not simply to line the pockets of BOD members and Executives and those to whom they are beholden.
What did our BOD & Executives do?They managed to take that $67M and as of the last 10Q, turn it into a paltry $25.4M in total assets!!That’s a LOSS of $41.6M!!!
In that time, they also managed to lose $160.2M in PTSC market cap as the share price dove from 51 cents to the 9.3 cents we’re closed at yesterday.Additionally, they managed to INCREASE the OS by over 21M shares despite buying shares back on the open market.
All the while, the way they showed accountability to us as shareholders is to take $5.43M of that $31.75M and line their own pockets.
NONE of this has ANYTHING to do with the USPTO, with INFRINGERS, with the OVERALL MARKET, or any exterior forces.These figures are the DIRECT RESULT of these six people in charge of our company and the decisions they’ve made and been a part of.
Some say we need to let them do their job, or that they’ll reserve judgment until after the latest fiasco is played out.Fine.That’s their prerogative. But for the record, these people HAVE been ALLOWED to do their job.There is NOTHING in the above numbers that is a result of anything BUT THEM DOING THER JOB!The RECORD shows that THIS is the results they are capable of delivering.
How much more of their performance can PTSC withstand?!
