You don't have to qualify your comments with IMO. Of course, IYO. It is you that is writing it, is it not? Should I doubt?

You don't need to worry about what the Street perceives. The company is well-known. If they make even a few sales and the customers are jazzed, before that gets out MRVC will be flying. The current perception is right. Your guess and gamble is that the company truly does have a winner. That isn't known yet so it can't be excessively put into the stock price. The expectations are there already. Your bet is that they are under-expected, so you should be happy that you're ahead of the Street. Just remember that you are more likely to be wrong and the Street is more likely to be right, since the Street has more specialized knowledge and the company is divulging the nitty-gritty more completely to analysts than they are to the public. You can't legally know what may be critical.

Take heart. The development process takes time so initially you take a small position. If things improve, you buy more only at higher prices. This prevents you from overly committing to a story that stalls. It is exceedingly hard to do this. It is quite right to buy the good news at premium prices. Trust your own knowledge as to what is good news. Hell, you did all this fundamental stuff. Put it to your advantage. You will be buying tops and with a growing story, that's a winning script.
