I puckered up nine years ago and my lips turned so BLUE they almost fell off...so yes, I'm with OUTLOOK. I'll believe it when I see it.


KANYA, A SYMPATHY PURCHASE is when one of the large companies we've been working with ...sees us struggling to make even our first sale....So out of sympathy, they buy something from us to make us look legitimate and help build momentum for us.

It's kind of like driving by the LEMONADE STAND in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
You see a little fat kid standing there in the heat sweating profusely and not one customer is buying. Then YOU come along and even though you just drank a 60 ounce Coca Cola and are not thirsty...decide to be kind and buy a lemonaide from the sweaty little fat kid. It's a sign of compassion when you feel sorry for somoeone who is desparately struggling.

It's kind of like JOHN RICE who has advanced degrees from HARVARD BUT YET, he can't seem to fulfill his obligation of turning this company around and making his first sale. I almost want to buy a software package from him myself...to get him kick started. How much is a PRINTRITE3D PACKAGE ANYWAY...perhaps I'll buy one. NOT !

Any surge will be short lived. They have to show more than just a couple of sales. Even if there is a domino effect in sales (which I doubt) they have to show it can be sustainable or the pps will return to or near current levels. If the insiders sell during the first rise, the pps will fall that much faster and that much farther. History does repeat itself. Especially when it comes to the PPS snd the stock market. Big companies do not have just one initiative with one company when they are working with technology like this (never and I mean never do they put all their eggs in one basket). GE has publicly shown they have three initiatives, The others probably have a minimum of 3 initiatives, usually behind the scenes and usually small companies like SGLB. The big company likes to see these smaller company’s initiatives compete for a place at the table. As Objective pointed out, a sympathy purchase is when some one from a big company that has worked with a small company so long without putting out cash they begin to feel guilty so they buy a copy or two of the software. I am an investor and I do hope for SGLB success as I will profit. The fact that the pps didn’t pop and stay up after the DARPA announcement and managements reaction of sending the shareholder letter does cause me concern.
