Ho HA! Another human being shows up on this thread. If you want to read an interesting article about Martek read this: biz.yahoo.com That's the article that got me interested in this stock. But, their last earnings report was kinda rotten, $1 million in revenues and about $4.5 million in losses. But, it showed that sales were picking up. They are now selling in about 10 foreign countries. Their Formulaid product seems to have passed tests for safety. And, their oils seem to be more effective than their competition, IMHO. Their margins were bad due to "low volume production problems" and "low prices". They've got to keep prices down because their target audience, new mothers worldwide, aren't rolling over in dough. I'm positive on MATK because, I think, they have solved their volume problems by stoking up the fires on their new oil facility, which will better enable them to keep prices down. The target audience for Formulaid is HUGE! Sales seem to be increasing overseas. Can they keep prices down and increase margins to make a nice profit? Interesting question?! Regards, Bob
