Steve,
My feeling on this is that in the case of the general public people are waiting due to past history of MDMN. That's ok, but as per the agreement the other party has to buy shares on the open market, that will be the tell that this is taking off.
IMOP things will pick up like a hurricane by the end of this month. There are many things going on and as far as I am concerned it is all finally going to be good, especially for long timers like you and me.
Mike
