I follow the board because it once had information or opinions that were of interest, and it is a simple click to see if that is happening again; and I post usually to thank someone for their input.
I remain long because:
while the pace is exceedingly slow the trend—overall—is without doubt positive;
the technology is extremely important and has never been brought into serious question, rather is repeatedly endorsed or proven after broader exposure;
the company has breadth in its line, the commercialization of any one of which will probably well reward my patience;
the company owns the patents;
the insiders who know what I do not remain quite positive (see CEO update of Dec 08) and they would be foolish legally to pretend to be;
the insiders, including family, have a lot of stock and could probably have justified to themselves a sell-out earlier if they thought this was not going anywhere;
negotiations are being properly conducted or the board would have defections;
I could not bear to miss out on the finish I still have reason to expect, simply out of impatience.
