Chic - I like Apple but I do remember the mid 90's when they were in big need of a cash infusion when Bill Gates stepped up with 100 million or so. If memory serves me, in 2002 Apple traded for just $7.90 a share just before they brought out the iPod which turned the fortunes of the company around. We all know that they had a 2 for 1 split and a 7 for 1 split since then.
As far as our little company goes, there is reasonable prospect that our growth rate over the next one to three years could make Apple's rise look like child's play. This won't come without some good results on the science and a little bit of luck but it is definitely a possibility.
