I understand all of these points. I am very long the stock and will continue to be so. That said, I attended the shareholder meeting last year and following that day I would have have been at least mildly surprised if someone told me that 11 months later there had been no follow-up deal. I believe honestly that many who attended that meeting would have expressed similar mild surprise. That doesn't mean I am not impressed with all of the progress I have seen achieved over they past 11 months. My expectations were raised again with ML's comments back in December about working hard to close deals by end of 2023 while admitting that they might not happen because large deals/companies are complex. All fair enough. I do trust that ML is working in the best interest of shareholders in the long run. And that might mean having to wait longer...but I will be looking for additional insight at the annual meeting from ML as to explanations/rationale to feel more comfortable about when we can expect the beginnings of success (deals/revenue, etc.). And as I stated previously, I hope the fact that they have pursued multiple Tier 1s and foundries means there is competition to get the job done with at least one sooner vs. later and that no single potential partner can unilaterally hold them over the proverbial barrel.
