The mantra that we can't attract significant new money without an uplist is not accurate. If word gets out as to where this company fundamentally,  outsiders will invest, one way or the other.  And be happy they got in now. 

But that hasn't happened yet. We need to figure out why. Because the WORD HAS GOTTEN OUT, sufficiently, in any event, to warrant some volume and price action, but that has not happened.  Heck, the opposite has happened.

Other than my mantra of timing, my and other's explanations are longshots.
