Shail... I completely understand and sympathize with your pain. Been there before with other stocks. Trying to learn from my past mistakes and be more objective in my investing.

When I first heard the pumping from a newsletter author through my Agora subscriptions, the company was approaching $0.29/share. The hype was to "get in now before the govt endorses this product and it is too late." That was back in Nov 2011 or 2012, I believe. Regardless, it wss a bad call for Agora then. Not because the company didn't have a product. But because the company had over-liquidated the company's outstanding shares with no end in sight. Of course, the common shareholder had no way of knowing it at the time. For that matter... and to be fair... even the company management may not have forseen the time delay in bringing a product to market. APDN doesn't control the US DOD contracting system. I learned that personally through 22 yrs in Uncle Sam's service, trying to get buildings constructed and products for our unit's mission purchased. Regardless of "who knew" and "when"... the harsh reality is a company which seems to have a great product a few years late in the game for the original investors. Why? Because the company is severely diluted in it's outstanding shares and facing a necessary reverse split with a potential "short game" to follow which will further dilute the stock if the company doesn't deliver with MAJOR... MAJOR contracts that are INCREDIBLY LUCRATIVE to counter the shares and reverse. If those major contracts, whether via Uncle Sam, or textiles/plastics etc don't arrive in short order, the long-term shareholder will lose majorly.

Bottom line... BetUGetIt... although definitely news and worthy of being posted here, as any news related to a company should be... it is absolutely non-productive and arguable counter-productive to a company's image and credibility.

Best to you and others, Shail.
