Cholestrak sales are growing. From a historical point of
view, I will concede your point that the product is
not the success it was expected to be. If you notice,
I did not describe sales as being a success either.
But, at the same time, I would not say that the product
is a total failure either. The claims of product performance
were never overstated, only the predicted consumer market
was.

Why is the stock price in the basement? Revenues. Or lack
of substantial revenues. Unfortunately, the price does not
reflect future potential revenue growth anymore. That I attribute to
loss of investor patience as well as a loss of interest in
the whole rapid-testing market. Look at Quidel. They are growing
sales, but that fact is not really reflected in their stock
price either. Eventually, this market segment should come back
into favor -- especially at these prices.

Good luck. Hope you jump back in at some point.
