Hi Rick,
Sometimes it seems you, Bill, Rick S,Jack, and a few others will all grow old together here awaiting news, but it truly has been enjoyable, given the team effort, information shared, and the different educated opinions offered....not to mention, you have all been gentlemen. It sure looks like ATIS is finally starting to realize its goals as they begin to reach the point where products are no longer only up the road.
People who only want to give the share price for ATIS consideration as to what the revenues for dermagraft will be(the old fashioned show me the money attitude for investing) still doesn't totally apply. They are/will be very much valued on the potential of their technology and their future products, even though some of the value will begin to be based on current products and the revenues brought in over the next few years as dermagraft gets rolling. Biotechs don't get valued over night from research to production companies unless they're one-hit wonders, or else nobody would ever buy one, as they're all way too expensive when simply based on potential and burning cash.
You are so right about the rewarding feeling when science takes steps forward and allows true advances in aiding humanity. It almost makes the rationalization about our desire for profits(are we ferengi?) justifiable. :) I look forward to seeing more of your posts as we go here....hasn't been the same without you spending more time of here.
Regards,
Marshall |
