for the long term. Each order of magnitude drop in the stock price is more and more a signal to them that they are on the right track. Now, with the stock price at around three cents, they know that the sun is just around the corner.

Your post suffers from the fatal incorrect assumption that you will get what you want by waiting. Your whole post falls apart if you correct for that incorrect assumption.

You keep saying "If we have incremental change, etc etc, we will never have fundamental change." But why do you assume that you WILL have fundamental change if the incremental change fails? Why do you assume that just because you really want something, you will EVER get it (no matter how much you want it)?

More generally, you are making the incorrect assumption that if X doesn't get what you want, "Not X" WILL get you what you want.
