Well Im familiar with the sales industry and usually stuff going on sale is a marketing strategy.... People will buy your products over what they normally get just because it's on sale and when it goes back to the normal price they are more inclined to buy your product because liked it when they brought it on sale...

Sales doesn't always mean There's a surplus they can't get rid of...

Don't worry about the "sales". Firstly, the Advanced Vaping System is very popular and I expect the emphasis to be on this product. Secondly, there is a race going on for market share and brand loyalty. I can guarantee that profits come secondary to gaining market penetration and brand loyalty. In a few years, there may only be a handful of players and ECIG wants to be one of them.

One of the advantages that ECIG has over Big T that I have never heard discussed, is that ECIG does not have to worry about cannibalization of its tobacco products. ECIG can promote and advertise its product as a way to stop smoking. Do you think Big T wants to do that? They are only in the industry because they are afraid of being left behind.

There was a study out this week that found that ecigs had only 1% of the free radical particles found in traditional tobacco.

I am pretty sure O'Neill just told us to expect substantive news before the meeting. I give ECIG 50% odds at being a billion dollar company by the end of this year.

Haven't completely made up my mind one way or the other. If I had to vote today, I would vote no. But I am open minded enough to see how things unfold for the next few weeks before I make a definite decision. Granted there would have to be some big steps made on ECIG before I would consider voting yes for the r/s. Just biding my time for now.
