CNAM--nice P.R. to remind investors of the growth story. Gives me the sense that they will be issuing more press releases over the coming weeks (until the expected big Q3 results to be reported in mid-Nov) to let investors know how everything is proceeding.... And this should serve to support the pps so it doesn't just drift down lower and lower on no news and a backward focus on Q2's results.
