FWIW - Spoke to LT who remains upbeat and expects PR type communication from the company this month. He will update the blog near term. Describes numerous developments regarding longitudinal financing, product development, and transition from development/R&D to production/Manufacturing.
Interesting note, the company website contact telephone # (702-382-3385) is different from before and now connects with the company HQ in Las Vegas, not LT. Actually spoke with Al Snaper on one occasion who confirmed the diamond manufacturing process and LT's role as a "business side" consultant. He offered really no other information but was friendly and polite.
All things said, I remain positive, at least for the time being. Seems to be significant potential here with limited downside risk given the currently sub-penny SP.
