I have lots to say tonight...obvioulsy. SF I appreciate your posts for many reasons and one of those reasons is because you shoot from the hip. Do not worry that you might offend me, if you think I'm out to lunch on something, fire away.....you should see the abuse I take in other forums, its the life of a contrarian.

You've succeeded in termpering my excitment (anticipation would be a better word) but only a bit. When they've gone before, have they had someone there as a speaker? If not that might explain the muted or non-existant reaction vis a vis the trading. These shows are a zoo, and getting noticed is not easy.....but having the microphone helps.

I notice too that they're doing the Rodman and Renshaw show in September...puke, that's my take on that one. I like these industry specific conferences and such....but R&R in my mind is little better than the Life Sciences report toutsheet. Frankly I'd rather see them spend $$$ on office furniture than pay for R&R and streetwise.

I've tempered my opinion on typical stock promotion somewhat...the waters that are the publiclytraded markets, they're dirty waters....and there is an expectation to engage in at least some of this type of activity I'm sure. If you're going to play in their pool, you have to play by their rules.
