Re: large samples ( golf balls) , spin off, government funding, high purity testing conpleteion. There has not been much if any advancements on any of these goals. Give the market a reason to buy. All of our goals are forward looking with dates that pass. I don't see to many here putting there money where there mouth is based on volume. Add to that managments participation in any pp or open markets been slim to none? Hard to convince those to buy if your not willing to part your own pocket.

Many of your points are difficult to argue against, it seems clear that things have not gone as well as they were expected to.
This is a pretty typical situation as far as theoretical projects go. Optimism on the part of management or the idea generators is really the only thing that drives a theoretical project forwards, without optimism backing an idea, it will not progress if it is undertaken by a small group such as HPQ and PYR.
The problem with optimism is that it tends to be overly optimistic rather than pessimistic (lol).
looking on the positive side, this optimism has resulted in us having the only PUREVAP reactor in the world, and a pilot plant that is probably 50% complete by now. It has also resulted in us having a great team of people at PYR working towards a goal, and the forethought in HPQ management to get the pilot plant underway at such an early stage, without which we would probably still be a 5 or 6 cents. Without the optimism presented by HPQ management we would not have what we have.

I think the low share price is temporary even if it is a bit annoying, I personally would not be selling at 3 times this price so I'm not too annoyed, but do understand the disappointment for some. 
All My Honest Opinion.
