Rob, You are right, it is difficult to make correct technical analysis of LCAV because of the factors that you have stated. Hence the lack of posts on this thread for large periods of time. I have been trading this issue ever since LCA-Visions became listed as an over the counter stock. This was over a period of time and three reverse stock splits. I think the company has potential, and should show a profit over time which should reward long term investors. The only letter writer that I am aware of that shown any interest in the company is Jack Hot Stocks. The following is the URL for their nes letter dtd. 4/25/97. <http://www.redhotstocks.com/lcav.htm> Good luck on your project, and am looking forward to the results (if you can publish them). Harry

Here are LCAV's competitors: LaserVision Centers (LVCI), Sight Resource (VISN), Beacon (BEY: Toronto Exchange), TLC The Laser Center, and many regional players like Horizon Vision Centers in Northern California. And then there's Keravision (KERA), if implantable corneal rings seem to pose a competitive threat... Laser manufacturers: FDA-approved- Visx (VISX) and Summit Technology (BEAM) In FDA clinical studies- Autonomous Technologies (ATCI), LaserSight (LASE), Nidek, Chiron Vision (recently acquired by Bausch and Lomb), Novatec, and I believe Aesculap-Meditek. FYI, the only laser center operator with any clearly distinguishable operational difference among the center operators appears to be LVCI, which uses proprietary mobile trailers as part of its growth strategy. You may find their business model and progress more interesting/exciting.
