Anyone home?

There seems to be a lot of people bailing from this stock. Perhaps that will be good news if the company gets its act together and makes some sales. Then the price would be able to go up without having all of this overhang.

Obviously this attempt to impress the analysts failed miserably. Perhaps NPTH will realize that the only way out for them is to actually obtain customers for their system. A couple of announcements about sales would change the dynamics totally.

Excluding personalities, I think their biggest problem now is pricing algorithms. They need to price the machine in a way that both their price and value to the customer is consistant with the sort rate. With a 25% sort rate they need a lower price which can go up if and when they get approval for a higher sort rate. This would create a win/win situation for NPTH and the labs. But this concept may be too complex for the NPTH leadership. Hopefully the new hot shot salespeople will be able to convince the company that they need a flexible pricing algorithm. But perhaps just bringing up that subject is grounds for dismissal.
