Sigmund, Great post & I agree. The reason why the past CEO was pushed into another role with the co was that He was not doing a good enough marketing job with doctors, insurance co's, the public, etc. btw - I spoke w/investor relations group today and they have a short list of candidates.

As I understand it, the test costs $40 (that's not very expensive) and is not an insurance covered cost. However, in one insurance network( I don't know the name - 18,000 doctors), a doctor must obtain written record from a women who is offered but refuses the PAPNET test. This is due to "it" being standard-of-care.

Woman will pay for this test. It has to be marketed. Recent articles in the New York Post and a woman's mag are attempts to do this. A high profile CEO would do this. Goldman who owns 29% of the co would do this. Goldman cannot have anything to do with the company due to it's ownership role, however it's holding around 10,000,000 shares at a much higher cost (at least $15/share - $150 mil) and I don't think it want's to take that kind of a hit.
