A word about earnings. Meaningless. If this stock during the last qt made 5 cents a share, broke even, lost 10 or even 20 wouldn't mean a think to me. I don't think there are too many investors here living for the earnings right now on this company.

This company is all about what will be, not what was. This company's mission statement and business plan is clearly stated. And the company clearly has held enough back, roughly 100mil last I looked, to ride out the transition period and to continue there own self invested development during this phase of their business plan. Or in other words the patents are still rolling out as we wait on this roadblock called Ericy issue to resolve. They have done a good job with this area of the business.

This is a speculative stock, not a mature fully established one. Current earnings are not the issue, cost management along with positioning for a roll up and roll out is.
