RE:Crappy Stock PriceI share the frustration over such a low share price and management failure to provide the market with information good enough for analysts needs.
However, I don't really understand what difference the conference should have made short term for the share price? I think it's a mistake to read to much in it.
Nevertheless, they missed out on the obvious opportunity to put forward Atheln and let them communicate the vibe of the conference and great interest from deep pockets - THAT would've at least supported the share price on the same level as pre-conference - BECAUSE company valuation reflects dreams and expectations of future revenue, which is next to none today.
They simply doesn't understand the basics of marketing and shareholder care. It's so painfully obvious looking at the conference photo of Howard walking down an empty corridor...
I'm actually confident that they have something of value thanks to excellent science, but maybe Howard is too proud to let Atheln steer the wheel and that's not very favourable short term.
