Gary, I don't think you would survive as a fly on the wall in the presence of Linda Powers. She would just swat any fly just in case it was a robotic drone from the opposition eavesdropping :)) It's quiet period so no buzzing.
We do have the annual report and some past statements that also give some hints at a number of the issues you raise Gary. It’s not all just speculation, though we also do know that things do not always go as planned. It’s challenge, but I do think we know they are likely working very hard the background, from Dr. Liau to the expertises teams and to the management and production teams. I doubt they are just twiddling their thumbs, though it may seem difficult for some to always accept.
You can dream about TLD, that is fine. But, there are no interactions with FDA about approval, no working on abstracts and papers, and I doubt any serious merger or buyout discussions. How could any of this be in progress without a final analysis.
