From my conversations, I would expect some announcements sooner rather than later. I would guess that the latest we would hear from Franklin would be the second week in January. However, I am hoping for something much sooner than that. I would not get too disappointed if we hear nothing through the end of the year. Expect some good news by mid January and be pleasantly surprised if it comes sooner. I am not saying that I don't think anything will happen before Christmas, because I am still hoping that it does and it seems like a definite possibility. Nothing will probably happen between Christmas and New Years, so if we don't hear anything by this time next week, it will probably be another couple of weeks. As I spoke with the company today, I understand that Citibank and USRX just recently ordered some older products....probably channel banks and the like. The definite tone from the company is very positive, and it sounds like a few deals are being worked on as we speak. Without getting any detail, I was definitely under the impression that one of the deals is very close to being a done deal. I was also under the impression that this deal would probably chase away all of the naysayers here, for good....or at least for awhile. But, remember, these are just my impressions and opinions. Additionally, there was some talk of hiring a PR firm. I am not sure if a definite decision regarding this has been made, but it does sound like they are strongly considering it. The main theme seems to be that we have a product that is of higher quality than anyone else out there. I believe that those people who are patient enough to forget the garble on this board and focus their attention on a month or two down the road, will be handsomely rewarded. Hopefully, we will all be enlightened before Christmas as we see Santa Frank sliding down the chimney with a bag full of good news.
