Bluecollardollar: I think we could grow it organically to a point that would attract investment firms.  It might take a little longer, but when you have held the stock for a decade, whats another 6 months to a year.

Exactly what I have highlighted might be the point. We have already seen how fast the photonics industry develops. Organic growth might be too slow to cope with the speed of everyone else. Currently, we have a technological advantage over the competition, but we should be keen to keep it.
