My first impression from Mr. Plant was not that they were manipulating anything or trying to control share price. That's just my opinion. You could be right but who knows.
The impression I got is that the company is ran by motivated techies that are excited to be pioneering some hot new gadgets. Mr. Plant self-identified himself as a "geek" during the interview.
I agree that there is a perceieved sense of growth potential. Jim Plant identified this more than once (I think) during the interview. He described the technology that cyberkey is involved in as something that has many applications.
One more thing... CKYS is not the only company to be distributing the biometric drives. I found at least two other sources for biometric drives. So far, CKYS had the cheaper price but one of the other competitors actually had a 2GB version available where CKYS only had the 1 GB in stock (and claims of 8GB versions being available).
