Lumenge you quite rightly point out that the inflection point could fork left or right or perhaps more meaningfully in terms of graphs North or South.

By agreeing with Dereckwpg  you sound despondent yet I would argue that there is a bias, a balance of probability that suggest the Northern route.  The old fervour of quick riches was enticing but retrospectively unrealistic and based on buy out and bidding wars.  What SV and AM have done is to build value and structure in a realistic hard grafting way because they chose commercialisation.  Dereckwpg may feel he is running out of time but he is not alone in this respect but the consequences are greater for his young family than this ancient mariner. I suspect many more here like me who have AD to contend with some anxiety where time is an issue along with thin patience and a degree of investment fatigue, plus a sense of being ignored by the company re comms policy.

My point is let's not lose hope.  The way I see it is that management would not contemplate the hirings, structural investments or dots like Vietnam unless they had a degree of certainty in the product, the IP they possess and momentum they have in the market.
