Always nice to see the Institutional holders of ASTN. It is always good news to see well respected Institutional holders added to the list. ASTN is still an unknown for the most part and not on most radar screens yet. Still, if anonymity is a key factor for those using the eVWAP system then perhaps many using the system don't want to tip their hand by showing up as a holder of ASTN at this point even though confidence in eVWAP may be strong. -I was a little surprise not to see Vulcan Ventures on the list, but it could be that Paul didn't start buying until Nov 1st? ;) <g> ASTN could promulgate the companies progress in executing its gameplan...considering it has been 7 weeks devoid of any release whatsoever. I can't imagine ASTN hasn't had anything "material" to submit. Most Public companies traditionally keep their shareholder apprised of the progress via a regular stream of PR updates. (Which is not considered pandering to the shareholders nor a shameless act to bolster shareholder value, but rather fulfilling a Company's simple duty to keep shareholders duly informed.) Understandably and rightfully so, ASTN is bound to uphold the crucial anonymity factor with its clientele, but at the same time there must be a way to show good faith to its shareholders with real updates, without breaching any security. It is just all a matter of knowing how to craft the press release to appease both clientele as well as shareholder without sacrificing the integrity of the system. That being said, news is imminent IMO.
