Well, I just listened to the WallSt interview that Steve did. Here's my take:

PROS
Steve is fantastic at explaining and promoting Somatic healthcare. I think in the realm of practicing Somatics, Steve rules.

*70 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Huge potential client base!

*Somatics is affordable. Somatics often does the trick within 2-6 visits as opposed to chiropractic. I think if this is true and we get some real-life testimonials and corresponding publicity, you'd see a ton of people involved in chiropractic SWITCHING to Somatics...at least for awhile. I can say this with authority as I've been involved with chiropractic and often went 2-3 times a week for adjustments.

*They're still presenting to VA hospitals. Potential contract. Potential BIG dollars.

*TV show on WE-TV and Travel channel. Syndicated on 48 local stations.

What should investors look for in the next 12-18 months? Grow clinics. 2008 National exposure. Clinics/Products/Training - all revenue engines. People are just beginning to find out about Somatic healthcare. Less than $100,000 to open each clinic and they're supposedly "very lucrative."


CONS
Steve is not investor-savvy. He still cannot apparently grasp the tough law of supply and demand. While the demand for his stock is low, he should not increase the supply of it.


TO STEVE ARONSTEIN
Steve, why should I buy Somatics when I'm deathly afraid that you or someone you've given millions of shares to is going to DUMP into your next PR? Your PRs are useless until you talk to us about that which matters most to us: SHARE STRUCTURE!!!

If you would only commit to stabilizing the float...what investor confidence that would yield! You've got a monopoly in a specialty field within a multi-billion dollar industry. Please...I beg you, sir...do you realize what you have here if you'd only STABILIZE THE FLOAT??


SUMMARY
It would be great if Steve would stabilize the float and get the PPS back up into the half-penny range in the short term. I'm just not sure that's possible with the current share structure. I think if Steve continues to print shares and utterly demolish investor confidence, we may have a blip to .0002 or .0003 with the TV campaign and such, but that's IT. This is especially true if Steve is plotting to do some more big selling during the upcoming buzz.
