Stellar post MC! You hit the nail on the head.

I find watching this stock is like checking the weather every half hour waiting for something exciting to happen, like a tornado. I know if I live long enough I'll probably get to see a tornado if I'm at the right place at the right time. Some people even jump in a van and race around trying to find a tornado (traders who cant wait until xmas for 100nm?). . .

Also, when I think it's going to be sunny and it rains I get mad at the weatherman. If I go on a trip and it's sunny every day it *feels* like it was divinely arranged to improve my holiday, against my own sense of reason.

My point is that with this company things will transpire when the groundwork is laid out. We can choose to watch the SP and volume go up and down everyday and even think of complaining to IR about lack of communication (again, I'm in your camp MC - great job communicating management and IR!) or the SP, but none of that can make the process pay off sooner.

Obviously the 100nm milestone was a 'show me' MS for an interested party and that should give solace to us longs that we are closer to profiting from PTK than we ever have been before. We have waited a long time since Pellegrino, but it's not much further to go, IMO. If an interested party is named upon the completion of the 100nm MS, we could possibly be on schedule for all that was hoped for based on the TO meeting. That's pretty exciting.
