Fasctrack - Your point on financial institutions seems central to the obstacles. When the financial institutions and governmental agencies get on the same page, huge obstacles are overcome. St. Malo has mentioned that one of his major obstacles has been the problem of financial backing.
I think a comparable example was when Jackie Robinson became the first black player in the major leagues. The obstacles he had to overcome, with the able assistance of Branch Rickey, show how difficult the pathway of the innovator is--and how resistant we human beings are to change, the power struggles of vested, often selfish interest power players who want to keep the status quo. I agree that the KDS is a part of a rather complex concept with many obstacles to overcome. Once these are overcome through one good example, the follow up will be much smoother.
In the meantime the insight and knowledge of a few does not greatly impact the overall market due to the many often stated reasons. When these break down, and once they break down, we have the potential for an extremely interesting investment here. Always having been a "longshot player", there remains considerable fascination with just how the cards are going to be played out.
Have some new thoughts on Brian which I hope to post later today. Several hypotheses as to just how his ongoing relationship with FASC may develop. Waitedg
