austin; Other than Cooper contacting some companies while in Asia, I don't know his level of involvement. As far as share price, I stopped guessing on that a while back. I believe it will be substantially higher one year from now, but if it is, and what it is, we will have to wait to see.
Austin, SP will only be higher if they are able to commerically release tech by then. This can be a very lengthy process. Read some of the posts by Spoke recently - he does a very good job in describing it. Many here said a year ago that SP will be alot higer in a year...and instead it is a lot lower. So its better not to hope but rather just watch. ANYTHING can happen. Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad.
