Phillip, I believe that Matritech has excellent management, but the management doesn't control the stock price.

NMPS ran-up unreasonably last year on a tout from a popular stock-picker. In a way, it's unfortunate that he "discovered" NMPS. The people who follow these guys are looking for instant profits. But NMPS has no instant profits to offer - this is a stock that you have to hold for 5-10 years.

I don't think that anything about this stock is "hype", now that the aformentioned tout is apparently no longer interested in it.

This is a company at the very beginning of their product rollout stage. As is typical of biotechs, gains in sales will come incrementally, a little at a time as the word spreads. But this endorsement by Kaiser Permanente is a huge win for them.

Kaiser Permanente is the cheapest of the cheap, and others look to them to get cost-reducing ideas. To have a diagnostic product that is BOTH more effective than the competition, AND is endorsed by misers at Kaiser puts them in an enviable position.
