Yes, I think the money raise will come soon.  As far as the stock being manipulated upwards, that can happen. I’ve seen it here and in many, many other stocks.

 Generally, some good news is required to get the ball rolling, but the ball is rolled by the brokerage houses.  I don’t think it’s ethical but it’s done often. 

I think the share price action for the last several months has been telling us about the timing.  Some thought it would be different this time, but it wasn’t.  I’m referring to share price, not fundamentals, which seem to me to be at an all time high. 

Most all of us agreed that sales of our new products would move the stock.  Well, not much, but we have gotten to the point where the tech is being tested under fire.  Don’t fool yourself, there is plenty of risk and speculation left.  However, the risk/reward profile has improved considerably.  

If we have a less than happy money raise, I would strongly consider that to be an opportunity to lower my average price.  

I’ve been on Kauai since Tuesday and won’t return home till Wednesday.  But I’ve been keeping up.  It’s a great story and drama.
