Thank you. Like you, just trying to put pieces together and figure out where this is headed. He did similar investments in Toumaz, KEYO, Glowcap (Glowcap is a private entity, though), etc.

Too bad glowcap isn't public. Can anyone think how huge that would be with a (forgetful?) aging population, particularly when you consider how often people do forget to take medication and they end up in the hospital because of it? Phone calls if you don't take your meds??? Quite honestly, it almost sounds like an impossible concept, but it is a life-saver.

Anyway, had previously posted an interview with him by CNBC on this Board and how he said he loves to hear someone tell him he can't do something. What he's trying to accomplish sounds incredibly difficult to accomplish (it really requires a significant change in a way of providing healthcare), but it's really hard to bet against this guy. And, when you read all those articles about wireless medical care, it's really a fascinating concept that fills an enormous need. Fact is, the other companies he funded, he has become a major player in each. This was probably the best thing that could happen if you're a shareholder because Sandell certainly would not be interested in being involved in this company, only getting paid. And, if it goes under because he only wants the patents, then it was doomed anyway, but Soon-Shiong is an operational guy with tremendous vision and a pioneering knowledge of this entire field. Obviously, it forces people to listen to your concepts when you're an MD and, more importantly (lol), a Multi-Billionaire. GLTA.
