Have given this some thought today and have come up with an interesting hypothesis. Neither TO or Scott seemed overly worried about the sp or Step one . That to me seemed odd, The fact that they could advertise without any kind of repercussions. Alda is the official supplier that is a given and therefore if my hypothesis is correct aph must have allowed the advertising. If I follow this bit of conjecture there would have to be a reason. Money, is it possible that step one paid aph for the privledge, or is it possible that we may have a buyout or partnership in the works. Shapero is gone, and according to one other poster, cannot remember if it was this board or SH so are the 2 people from marketing. I have not verified this but it fits with my theory so allow me to go with it for now. No shapero so theraputic applications on hold, no marketing. And insiders who are not selling but buying.

So what does aph have that Step One might want. Patents lots of them in various countries. Aph has a market cap of 10 million dollars even if they got a US contract to supply a major chain could they, they could barely keep up with orders here in our small market. But perhaps Step one can. If a partnership or buyout is underway with the patents as the carrot aph would not need shapero or a marketing dep. It kind of fits and I do agree it is a giant leap but plausable.

Well that is part of my theory would really appreciate any opinions for or against. Did not buy any today but am taking a hard look and will watch the trading on thur and fri.
