Zeev, If you believe in your system, I suspect during the delay waiting for SEC approval, Asthon was putting that time to good use. My guess is that they had commitments in place. Just an opinion of course. I also noticed in the first public statement, the CEO said 20 million by end of year. I noticed in today's news he stated the figure between 20 and 30 million. While the institutions using the system will not be public knowledge, I don't believe, the number of shares traded over it will be. Now maybe the CEO is a hypster (NOT), the increase in his share estimate might provide a hint of institutional interest. Perhaps the number is proportional to the number of commitments the company has in hand. Who knows for sure, but I for one look forward to the start date as everything will then be a matter of record.

Of course "end of year" could mean at least 3 things, and I have an inquiry with the company to get clarification. In the context in which it is said I believe it means calendar year, but I want to check.

Cheers
