PYRO is up 20 cents since last month and the shareholders are looking forward to the rest of the year. If you haven't invested yet, keep them on your watch list. Technology is constantly evolving and these things take time... PYRO is positioning themselves very well in my opinion.
Lets Go!! ... and GLTA
