Just imagine the President of SOST featured non-stop for several days continuously. And through their web site, all these millions of people will think to themselves... gee I can own SOST stock for $2 - $3 a share (or in their mind - a piece of the Titanic. I wish all sub $2 stocks had this much TV/Media coverage. -DavidCG
