Chester - you might try E-Trade if you still want to pursue this one.
BTW, I attended a breast cancer conference last week, with speakers and attendees from around the country. No one I spoke with was familiar with this device/product, and I did not see a PR booth. Admittedly, I didn't canvass everyone. Still haven't seen any reference to this product in the surgical literature, FWIW. It still seems unlikely to me that this product will be prescribed much, since it doesn't look like it will, anytime soon, help establish a medicolegal standard of practice. If it could be marketed OTC, though, it might present a problem to shorts.
I'm still concerned about the recent price run-up, which seems to be fairly sustained; can't figure what fueled this. Any ideas?

HMSC is really bubbling up now on high volume, on news that its product is being introduced. Looking at the chart, and considering that the market is developing toward a euphoric state, I wonder if HMSC is a situation of a frothy bubble developing.

Market cap is now $100 M.
