Thanks for the kudos. I understand the investor's insatiable need for good news to drive up PPS. But medical device engineering is a very methodical process that takes time and requires very deliberate steps.
After only three months of testing, I could not imagine the company saying "Well, we thought it would take nine months to test this thing out on cadavers, but gee whiz we proved that it is the infalable Jesus Robot in only three months and we're ready to let it loose on REAL, LIVE PEOPLE NOW!"
I DON'T THINK SO!!!
Still, as I've said before, I think these guys have some really amazing technology on their hands that is going to be able to give Intuitive a run for its money. We just all need to be patient and let them do the engineering necessary to make it happen. IMO, the day the presser comes out that says "SPORT to enter human trials", the decimal place in the PPS is going to move to the right. We just have to get there.
In the meantime, it's fun to speculate about the sudden price spike. It could mean a buyer. It could mean Titan now holds a patent that is going to be an IP nightmare for a competitor. It could even just mean that we're all being manipulated and that the only goal here was to boost the PPS to lessen the coming dilution when they do another stock offering.
None of us really know, but hopefully if we can hang on for the ride, avoid too much of a PPS hit when they dilute, and get past any IP litigation that Intuitive might unleash on them before we get a buyer (or if Titan brings this thing all to way to market on their own as some people on here seem to think they will), then we win.
