Thanks Retta... Thought provoking post ... as a matter of fact those very thoughts were crossing my mind this weekend as I cut the grass in the back yard. Because of the way this company is positioning itself with industry leaders, and is rapidly gaining acceptance as an industry standard provider; and because of the inordinately low float and # of shares outstanding, I believe that this company is a future split candidate as well... amazing what a couple splits can do for one's dollar cost average. Also, I was a little concerned about a lack of institutional investors here, and voiced same concerns as recently as last week, well it seems there has been some recent activity, as "smart" money has been recently accumulating. Comforting to say the least... Personally I would like to see Dimensional Funds Advisors climb aboard also... one can only hope.

Thanks for putting out the numbers. It would be interesting to run the numbers to show how much the return would be for people who buy after each split (not cumulative, but the spread). Clearly if you bet early you made more money. However, I would be interested in analyzing how one would have done AFTER the market for each companies product materialized. The problem I have with ELON is the market for its product isn't quite there yet. I want to see some real revenue growth before I plunk down the $$$. In other words, I know the dog can hunt, it seems silly to pay a lot of money on a hunch that is might be able to hunt. Heeren
