Nascent gorilla discussion (if this is better discussed on another thread, lease let me know)- <First stage was Military and they have reached that goal (I think I recall their technology was listed as the technology of choice by the Armed Services Procurement Department...)> I believe they have been awarded initial and then follow-on contracts to develop and study a military application of VRD for pilots but there is no production and no specific plans to incorporate VRD into current or future helicopters or fighters. On the medical side they are working with the one Neuro Institute and with Zeiss optical. Again some development contracts have been awarded and some beta units delivered. No production. I have watched this company for three years and owned its stock for a while but decided to sell and await developments before going long again. Too iffy. I have been reading this thread for three months, the book arrived just recently and I have only read the first few chapters but I now know why I decided to sell, watch and wait. If they pull it off, I also think I will be able to recognize when to buy back in at a much safer point in the company's development.
