Tate - for someone who came in at $0.20 - you're grossly underinformed :-( All views here are welcome - good or bad - if they are true. Do you think that we are so blind that we don't want to hear negative information? However - all information should be supported with contact information so that the rest of us can check what any other poster has provided. Sometimes this isn't possible as sources need to be protected - but the content of the infomation can always be checked. I believe that we have done a very good job of providing true information. You ask "What assumptions must take place in order for the stock to be worth in excess of $5.00/share. ie: amount of sales, p/e multiples, peer group multiples, etc..." Very, very simple answer - contact Napier or Aquasol and talk with them yourself. Ask them where they see the next level of support. Ask others - ask your broker. For Pete's sake - you list your location as 'Alberta'. I wished that I lived in Alberta - I would go and knock on the door of Aquasol and ICI and talk with them face-to-face. Other posters here have done just that - why can't you? Go and do it - report back on what you find - make the effort. Do people expect me to go down to Pearson - jump and a plane - and fly out there myself? I am satisfied with what hear over the phone - for now I see no reason why I need to check everything out first hand. Way back when - both Napier and Aquasol told me - and others - that the $4.88 spike following April 15, 21 News was unexpected - and they expected NIR to find a new base of support at $2+. Look at the chart - they were right - made the call very early on. They now tell me - and others - that they expect the next level of support to be $5+, why doubt them - nailed the number before. However, we also talk with others to see if they would also predict a higher level of support. Diversification of your sources of information is critical. The big unknown is how high will the share price go before finding the next level of support? Given Tuesday's News - and the meeting today between ICI+Napier and the brokerage houses - what influence will this have on the brokers recommendations wrt Napier? This is the first time - to my knowledge - that Napier and ICI have sat down with the brokerage houses - this is a big deal in my view. It's a very positive development. Napier and ICI must be very confident of their numbers going forward - the houses will be asking for them! I can only speak for myself - but one thing I don't like is negative posters coming on - posting what appears to be negative factual information - no contact links are provided - so it's just the old "let's run the negative spin" play. If those posters can't come up with contact information - so that we can check the information for ourselves - then they have a hidden agenda. When we do check this information and find it to be false - we say so here. That's how it works - simple as that - IMHO. If you have something positive/negative - let's have it - with contact information so we can check it out ourselves. Obviously I didn't start the company - you're correct there. However, I am an investor - I am hungry for information - I go out and get it - I post. There are many other NIR investors out there who know as much - likely more - about the company and it's prospects than I do - who chose not to post. That's OK too. You have only very recently found the NIR thread - pleased you're here. However, for someone who claims to have held NIR from $0.20 - you haven't even asked either Napier or Aquasol yourself where they see the next level of support - leads me to question your desire for information. These are your $$ that you are investing - you need to make more of an effort to find out the answers to the questions you ask. I am not Jason (Napier's IR guy), I am not the Aquasol nor the ICI IR guy. I am not going to go back over all of my 'research posts' to inform you of where we are today - or go over the 'research posts' of others. You must make some effort yourself to find out the information you ask - independently of what you read here. Pick up the phone and start calling or better still - jump in the car and go and see them. Don't come back and tell me that it's toooo hard because it's a two hour drive. You are very fortunate to live where you do - take advantage of it! I hope that you'll be onboard for the long haul. However, I also hope that you appreciate that I can't answer everyone's questions - I've left a paper trial with all of my posts - as have others - the answers to your questions are there. Looking forward to Alastair's report and tomorrow's action on the 'ol ticker. David :-)
