Apavolic, I've been trying hard to figure out the discrepancy between the market price of UPGD (dismally low), and the enormous potential of their smart card storage technology. I've come to the conclusion that this is still a very early stage company and more concrete developments must occur before the market wakes up. At present all investors have to go on are vague news releases. The company doesn't even have a website up and running. From what I understand there is much activity going on behind the scenes but all the pieces are not yet in place. In my opinion this company has real and gigantic potential down the road; but in the short term the share price doesn't seem to be going anywhere. regards etc.
