topvest - It's good to hear from you again! After reading the article you mentioned, I got a sinking feeling. I thought that, at a minimum, this company had a future with NMP22 sales. It seems, though, that perhaps the ability of the NMP22 isn't as great as I once believed. This is very serious, and I hope that the company counters with independent studies of its own. Otherwise, I think that FDA approval for the NMP22 as a screening test is doomed.

When the stock dropped below $2, I wrote Chubb a message telling him that either the market was wrong in its valuations or my assumptions about the company's potential were wrong (he responded with some nonsense that he had a lot of shares too. Unfortunately, he controls the company, not me). But you're right: If other officers aren't buying at these prices then that validates the $2.25 market price. Perhaps, my assumptions about Matritech's potential are indeed wrong. Say it isn't so!

Do you know if Matritech is currently trying to get FDA approval for NMP22 for bladder cancer screening? I read your post saying that you thought Matritech had a 50/50 chance for this approval. How tough is Japan compared to the US for this kind of approval (obviously Japan is easier, but how much easier?)
