Skip, Thanks for the info on the timing of the upcoming announcement. I am expecting this news of market size as well as the later announcement on marketing partners to be very positive.
However, I have to say that I am not expecting a big jump in the stock price based on the news. The upcoming announcements are important, but in fact, they are only laying out the potential we have here. They are not the same as the FDA approval which removed a significant risk factor and led to the recent stock increases.
I think the upcoming news will help to solidify the base stock price we see right now. But for the really big gains we are all expecting, we will have to wait for actual sales figures with evidence of acceptance of Colormate in the marketplace to come in.
Please don't get me wrong. This is not a criticsm of hype. I think you are telling it like it is, and I, as well as many other people on this thread, am very grateful for your generousity with the information you have given. However, what the market decides to do with the information and when it decides to do it is another story that we can only guess at right now.
I, like you, am in this for the long term. I know that the shares I own will achieve their potential value so it doesn't bother me if the price doesn't jump next week by an amount that, in the scheme of things over the next few years, will turn out to be insignificant. But what will be insignificant then, might right now be very significant in the minds of some investors, especially some of the more recent ones.
I hope that everyone reading this thread takes your advice and realizes that this is a long term play. With good news in the next few weeks, it doesn't matter what the price does or doesn't do. As you have said many times on this and other threads, people should not fret every tick up or down. However, when we begin to get news on sales figures - well that's when the real fun will start.
IMHO
