"IMO the revenue is what counts,not short term reassurances that we are still in business."
Tell me the distinction you see. Wouldn't revenue = reassurance that the company is still in business? Seems pretty simple to me. Unless of course the blue-plate special "sales" were in fact nothing much more than friendly placings.
OT: prolly a good thing you never transfererd your cdex over to a ROTH (which you could have done at any time, even in the past year) since you can now take a tax loss when you sell.
