THRX cannot control the price of their stock. All they can do is what they have done grow the company and continue to post record earnings. I appreciate a "non-hype" approach. If you want your hand held by the company I think you better find another CEO, Jacobs is not that type.

Well stated, Sport, and I share those same sentiments. An opportunity was blown to showcase the company's accomplishments and prospects. For example, a hopeful word about third Q earnings would have helped. Market's reaction is telling -- THRX is up 2% while competitor NASI, up 10%, is raining on THRX's parade. It would appear that, at a minimum, PR is not THRX's strong suit. Perhaps there are more negatives here that Jacobs didn't want to dwell on. Perhaps Jacobs is worried that NASI will produce the same Pd 103 seeds at 1/3 THRX's cost. Perhaps -- etc., etc. But, in spite of these real/imagined demons, I will suffer as stockholder for one more Q. Tulvio

Hey, sport, you are completely out of line. You should want the CEO to be running the company and not spending her time answering to a bunch of nervous nellies in the market (look in the mirror please). Once the CEO starts responding to every little rumor, he or she can never stop. This is not what her job is. The reason the stock crashed is not because she didn't do anything, but because it was completely overvalued to begin with, using any objective criteria. Finally, the balloon burst and is now more fairly valued at a PE in the 30+ range. Give the lady a break. She did her job by ignoring the idiots.
