Great post as always DD_dempsey. I contacted the company again last week and inquired specifically on whether or not they expect to release news before the end of the year. Like others have confirmed, they said yes.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation being spread lately so please take that for what its worth, and for anyone looking to hear it themselves they are welcome to contact the company themselves. (it is tricky to get them on the phone but they generally respond to emails very quickly, usually within the hour).
Like you and Stervc have posted, I still believe there is a bigger plan in the works here. The current share price sucks after having bought shares above .003, but I have been able to average down a little recently and am now on the edge of my seat waiting. I still think that with the right combo of news, we could see a 10 bagger very quickly from this level.
I agree with you in that some of the biggest gains are often made by those buying when everyone else is running...
Good luck to all.
