Joe, I think our information is leading us in the same direction. The stock itself is gaining strength. I believe reverse split news, if it officially comes, could provide another buying opportunity. That said, if we are right about the company, right now is still a great buying opportunity. I have an order in right now, but I don't know if the stock will test its lows given all the positive news coming out in the last few days. It would seem some medium size players are now establishing meaningful positions. My guess is we will see another test of the lows, but I'm wondering if 1 and 3/4 is low enough given the revenue uptick that is now becoming quite visible in Q1 or Q2. Best of luck, Snake
