Speaking of dilution:

I believe in 3 weeks we will be coming upon a portion of the last deal made to the existing investors.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but if I got it right, I am tossed between 2 scenarios:
- hoping the price goes above the $3.00 mark after the 60 day period (with no dilution)
- hoping for some news and having the price rise above $3.00 (with dilution)
That would mean 5,880,000 shares x $3.00 = $17,640,000
...at the current burn rate that would cover a quarter an a half.

I'm leaning toward waiting until May.
Would that not be better for us, unless the money was desperately needed?
