Good post Steve - thank you.
I, like you, have certain talents, but much to learn.
I am currently involved in numerous projects, some philanthropic, some modest in terms of potential reward to me and my family and the largest, involving the energy sector, the Mergers & Acquisition space and a potential price tag of north of $1 Billion, should a transaction be completed. My share of the proceeds of any transaction is double-figures. I modestly consider myself a somewhat 'savvy investor' as you put it and own directly and indirectly a number of shares of BIEL, like you.

Beyond that, Andrew Whelan has so far done the impossible in my opinion. He has survived 10 or more years on the regulatory journey; got ActiPatch into more than 50 countries through Distributors; improved the USPTO patent strength along the way; developed new products; OTC cleared in the UK and into >3,000 retail pharmacies and websites; FDA OTC cleared for foot and knee pain; working on OTC Back and general clearances with a now much more willing FDA; brought on a pistol as his new VP Sales & Marketing; recently received NHS - UK National Health Service Tariff inclusion for Physician / Patient reimbursement; to name a few of the significant accomplishments of this gritty ex-Marine who refused to quit, when most would have and all with virtually no money!

Am I tooting Whelan's horn? Not a bit. The learning curve has been longer than necessary in some instances, BIEL has unnecessarily alienated some in others, it's taken a long time, but all similar journeys do. But it remains an incredible stream of successes and I believe those will continue. I hope I have adequately answered your questions with my opinions. Anymore than that on BIEL's continuing mission, its tactics, tasking and negotiations, I am not prepared to contribute here on a charitable basis, other than to say, again, in my opinion, the potential is in the billions of dollars. If the Birds can beat the Pats, as they did yesterday, then BIEL is a walk in the park . . . . therefor, I say soon . . . .

I’d like to add something too. I also think Andy has done a great job at getting this partially to market. I think it could have happened much quicker with a more seasoned CEO, but I also think we may have given up some things that wouldn’t have been good.

I spoke to my sister this afternoon, my niece who’s team just finished 5th at the State cheerleading competition (she’s the high flier; the one who they throw up in the air). The past few months she’s been having soreness on one of her feet - From throwing her up and just hard landings every now and then. She’s seen me and my son and her mom use the LOOP on several injuries over the years. So all by herself, she ordered one online and healed her foot herself. She just keeps it on under a sock all the time. Her trainer keeps asking what she’s using because she’s not as sore on her foot. She told him about the loop, and I asked my sister if have my niece call me. I’m going to try to meet with them so I can put hem in touch with HQ. this is exactly the type of inexpensive GRASS ROOTS MARKETING that can easily blow up within weeks. All this trainers and coaches are always having conversations. As soon as we get a Segway I to the sports programs at the schools this will certainly be a HUGE talking point.

I’ll update after I meet with the trainer at the school. Imagine all team sports from middle school to college and semi pro teams. Eventually we’ll even get professional athletes as well.

This would cost very little money needed to reach schools. I’d consider adding a landing page to the website for schools to research the usefulness of the Actipatch LOOP!

We should be Sending them Face book messages. I did, along with a few comments from here that I copy and pasted and they responded to me. Especially about the Lady Gaga canceling concerts because of pain. They said they were gonna reach out to them. i stressed the importance of them taking time to read these posts. They need to know what we the investors are feeling and thinking. Just an idea. GO BIEL!!!
