You are justifying actual current management actions by the hope that the share price will be higher in the future. That is no way to be a shareholder. Too many companies grow in size, and yet their share price goes no where (or worse yet lower), would you invest in such a company?

I really have no idea where you're going with this or its relevance to my previous comments. I am not justifying actual current management actions by the hope the share price will be higher in the future. The rules for me are always simple when investing speculatively; does the company have a potentially far-fetching technology (I like bio and tech stocks), and can management turn the promise into a success. On both accounts the answer for me is yes and THAT is why I am invested. Obviously the end goal is to make money and for this to happen the share price needs to increase (besides the fact I am already free-carried anyway). My point is that to realise true potential as quickly as possible it is important for a company to not only focus on the commercial product side of the business but also make the investment community fully aware. Traditionally investors in Australia are slow to catch on. I am not saying that the company wouldn't become successful anyway in the longer term but I am very confident that the approach they are taking in terms of investor marketing will give us the rewards sooner than it would have otherwise. The quicker a company can realise their goals the less the risk for an investor.
