Paulness, I'm thinking the same way you are. (Scary, I know) If they are wanting to raise $18 million, at current prices they would have to sell just shy of 43 million shares, and I'm thinking that is something they don't want to, and probably couldn't do at current prices, plus we would have one less member on this forum. LOL
I'm betting they have something good to announce in the near future that will be something more than the fluff they have been releasing lately. Considering they have spent around 18 million since they have been in business, they must have something up their sleeve if they feel they need that much in the next year. Don't know what the new lab would cost, but I'm sure that a major part of those funds would go towards that.
Good Luck
