Great post, as usual, retired. I agree that a service provider is necessary to consider this truly a launch, and I personally believe that one is going to be announced, simply because otherwise the "launch" would have taken place already IMO. That alone is what separates a demonstration from a real launch.
I'm not sure I agree with you about us reaching a dollar before showing a real, clear line toward revenues with paperclick. Valuing this company at a quarter billion dollars with no shown revenue on an idea, while exciting, that hasn't been proven (and some, pointing to cue cat, would even say has been 'unproven') seems extremly optimistic.
And I personally still think management is managing this pps poorly. Their pr machine is weak compared to other stocks with much less promise. The ABC piece was great, but that's the sort of piece we should be seeing on a national show, not a local one. Neom should be in Wired Magazine, in the Science section of the Ny Times, on MSNBC, etc, around the time of the european launch. I'm also still concerned about there being no investments outside of Cornell; with the excitment of a coming launch in europe, i would think there would be people willing to invest real money here, without the need for dilution. The fact that diluting still seems to be the only way Neom has for raising money is a red flag, IMO, and that is keeping many investors away from the stock.
I also wonder where the new earnings report is, isn't it late? Am i wrong?
Anyway, I am still holding my 1.5 million shares but I am not optimistic enough to believe in a dollar. I think if the launch goes well, we could make it to .2, if we're lucky, maybe a pop to .3 for a day or two.
That's my 2 cents.
best
Joe
