Rereading the recent pressrelease I can only applaud to the board of DECN.
The carrier of information is visible, like the recent press release, but the information itself is invisible for some, unless converted and transmitted into your brain and compared with similar stories.
Decn's decision to build a War Chest as a hedge against doing business in a litigious landscape is smart at 2 fronts. It presents "visible and valuable reserves", that may hopefully never be used, but like a defense wall show a possible litigator, that the company has enough reserves to fight back without being blocked at the business front. I would call it: Surviving of the fittest as Wallstreet is full of similar stories.
It is a clear signal to shareholders, that instead of distributing those funds to shareholders as a one time present, they think business in earnest. Being free to market this "GEN Family" of test strips to Whomever and Wherever they chose, may well open the door for very strong partnerships in the future.
I can say, having gone through various up and down cycles over the last years, I am more than pleased that the litigation chapter finally is closed. Based on the present stock price, one get's DECN for free. The amount "non-disclosed" being paid minus litigation costs is certainly higher (or at least) close to the present capitalisation and this presents "inner reserves" of higher value than a ratio 1 to 1. I know some will challenge this, however it is like in the property market. As an example: Sea-side property in Israel is 8 times higher than sea-side property in Lebanon. Money pays a high premium for being protected and DECN's decision to put those funds into a litigation funds means protection for shareholders in the periods ahead. My advise: Accumulate more shares within the range low 20s and low 30s : you will be rewarded big time.
