Thanks for you opinion and comments, balance is good on a board. My comments;
They have not shown a profit yet because they are transitioning from R&D to product sales.
I never heard anything regarding your comments about their marketing savvy.
Yes dilution sucks. I believe it is already priced in.
You may be right about the press releases, although they have not had a significantly impacting one in a while.
Hopefully most on this board sold when the pps was high. I have been open with my moves and only hold a small position right now. I am waiting to see what happens.
They are on the way to making a profit.
They did have a product returned by one retailer, but it on amounted to a $1.4 mil loss.

Some DD from the filings:
