I can't speak for anyone else, but I suspect an over-riding weariness with the slog. So very many events that should have moved the price haven't.

I'm still watching, but I am reluctant to put very much on the table until I see revenues exceeding expenses. Which means I really only have to watch once every three months.

Well, Vader, I can only speak for myself...

... And I'm not going anywhere. What you're seeing, in part, is inevitable. There's a lot of anxiety and just plain bitterness.

I think a LOT of where we people STAND on this stock depends on where you SIT. If you acquired a BUNCH of shares EARLY in the Wave cycle, you're probably not happy. (That unhappiness does not necessarily mean that you feel the need to communicate it.) If you acquired a bunch of shares COMPARATIVELY late in this saga, you're probably (more or less) content. And, if, as some have, you've been trading all along, you're probably a happy camper.

From my perspective, we've gotten to the point where we all HOPED we would be: TPMs in abundance, Wave with real product and real relationships (e.g. Seagate FINALLY delivered... and a PRODUCT that is GOOD according to testing labs), a growing (though imperfect) awareness of trusted computing as defined by the TCG, NAC/TNC just over the horizon.

We all invested in a company that was, at the time, a LAB EXPERIMENT. Some (not me, at first) KNEW (in some detail and with some clarity) just how experimental this whole thing was. Well, the experiment is out of the lab and into the marketplace.

It's been a slow and/or painful--and for those who use(d) margins, DISASTROUS--journey. But we are where are: which is where we've long needed to be.
