Its the quick sand that comes with the territory. Look at AOL, DELL, Apple, no matter where these stocks were, people were always waiting for "assurance" that the CEO could pull it off. Those that took the risk on the CEOs capability, got bigger profit than those that waited for a "sure thing". If BAAT does get a contract, and say the stock starts up, there will still be the quesitons on whether the company can handle the situation, and continue to grow. These questions will ALWAYS be with the company. As it gets bigger, the answers sometimes will change. Look at APPLE. They had an EGO driven CEO, but the situation finally got to big for him. At different points in a companies growth, you may need to bring in a CEO of a diffent nature. Can JOE get this off the ground. You wont' know till it happens. You will not be able to predict. And I'm sure as the company grows, he will expand his advisor base. HOPEFULLY. But for now, it is a "dream in a building", and yes, he probably likes to get into all aspects, because its HIS baby. But its just this type of personality that it takes to create a new idea. Hard driven, and a controller. We will not know till its time whether he can grow as the company grows, and delegate, etc. But maybe thats already happening. People are trashing his capabilities, by that horrendous experience during the test. I think it unfair. Now that things have calmed, I see them becoming more "aloof", and not so willing to "speak", unless its an official posting. To me it looks like they learn quickly.

Patent issue and credibility building From my perspective, the patent issue was not previously a major issue because a patent does not "give" much... except the right to litigate if someone uses it without your permision. The factor that has changed from then to now is the credibility issue. The SEC and the cries of SCAM trashers have had an effect on BAAT's price. A strong patent filing will in fact increase the credibility of BAAT, so will a big name buying the technology.. The stock price would be much higher if BAAT was not trashed, but that is life. I think that many companies (potential buyers of the technology) want to be fully sure of what they are getting into. I would want to know what I am buying....not trust me it works (that much is known). Afterall, why pay for something that cannot be patented or can be stolen by adjusting or modifying off of the original inventors product? BAAT management is doing a good job (for the small company that they are) and they appear to learn fast. Lets not presuppose that they are going to show all their cards or reveal things that are being negotiated and have not yet matured. Time and the events that are yet to unfold will reveal at how adept they are at dealing with the situation. Quite frankly, they appear to be asking a lot up front.... $50,000,000 for a license to an unpatented technology. Nobody tosses that much money around without due diligence. One major deal and the stock price will quadruple instantaneously. Patiently waiting.........I'm giving Joe, Bill, Al and Ron 9 months for steady progress to see how they handle the upcoming events. 95 mpg is revolutionary whether it comes from Subaru, GM or BAAT. BAAT can afford to learn for awhile. The Alaskan
