I am aware of the facts and like you I have also continued to buy at lower prices. As I said I have not lost the faith. As I believe you addressed earlier many companies with good ideals fail. Lack of resources, poor management, timing... We must be careful and not do our homework. I believe CTI will make it. The money they've raised is a huge plus. I bought several thousand more shares on that news and even more last week at .56 a share! I am on your team. But I have been around through much of the, lets call it premature release of ambitious forward looking information. It happens all the time. New companies think or know they have a good thing, they believe so much that they get ahead of themselves. Sometimes they are dishonest and investor suffer, other times they just over state things. I believe the latter applies to CTI. From my research, I believe CTI has a break-through medical technology. But because of my own past experience I was not willing to sit on the sideline and watch a long term stockholder be accused of being a shortseller spy, when he is legitimately discouraged and looking for answers. Just for your information I manage a large medical office building and work with many doctors who lease medical space. A lot of them are disappointed now days and feel that to many MBA's are running the medical industry (HMO's, medicare cuts...). They are wondering what motivations will encourage future students to enter the medical field. When I have discussed CTI's advanced thermal imaging system (including the TRW data base...) with them many are enthusiastic and feel that this type of break-through would save many lives. One doctor was concerned that the MBA's (HMO's) would not want to spend additional dollars for such equipment. Others thought it would be a significant tool with many applications and would save much more money than it would cost, in the long run. In other words breast cancer would, most likely, be the tip of the iceberg, pardon the pun!!! Let me also say this, Dave Packer has been very straight forward with information and the future of CTI has become much brighter in my opinion. TK
