Hi Stang. I have been out of the country for a week and a bit out of touch. Stock looks weak, drifting lower on low volume. The Jubii news sounds very significant to me. Especially with it becoming part of Spray. 6 million users is a large customer, and repeat business is the best testimonial. I believe if one company likes NQL that much, then there is probably something beneficial about it and it just has to be marketed properly to expand revenue. Your ideas sound great, but I would hope that they are on top of these things already. Maybe you can get a job at ALMI with a nice options package. The S-3 is just a registration for the $15 million Placememnt they did before. It is not likely the shares are being dumped yet, but some might if the price appreciates significantly from the $6.50 purchase price. Overall, disappointed in stock price but very encouraged by Jubii deal. These things take a lot of time.
