It's a good idea you had in digging up old comments to measure expectations against progress.
If management is not careful, they will be measuring the progress of the stock in geological times!!!!...:):)
It's odd that one year on, and hardly any changes has occured as far as; 1) Not being informed on regularl basis of the progress of the implants 2) NOT being informed of news worthy events - Commissioning of the SE Asia centre!!! - Reaching 200 implants (a recent post suggested that FOX NEWS broadcasted this news item, and yet no mention of it to the ASX)!!! 3) Npt being informed of true sales 4) Not being Provided with sales forecasts
DRG's comments have been spot on. Device acceptance (sales in EU, Oz and of late south east asia) is a major driver. However, as before, I do disagree with DRG's comments with respect to management's competence for sales and marketing, and in particularly PR!!!
But how can we - and the market - measure the acceptance if we are not told of critical news such as these.
I have posted this before, and I will say it again... 1) Where is the sense in not releasing news worthy items such as these?? 2) How can anyone be concerned that releasing this news, in any way, shape or form, compromises the IP?? 3) VCR has chosen to freez the market out, and in turn, the market has chosen to freez it out. The market will not pay for an unknown quantity for a prolonged period of time!!...and VCR has had its grace period!!
Based on what I can see right now, 2008 holds more of the same. - Yes, there should be progress as far as implants are concerned. But will we know about it when it happens, directly from VCR, not through some 3rd party news item/s. NO!!!!... - Will they start to publish news related to sales and sales forecasts by region/country - NOT as a total figure that is open to anyone's interpretation??? NO!!!!!....
So, it's secrecy, secrecy, and more secrecy, price depreciation and more and more justifications from the Die-Hard VCR supporters, on how it's under-valued, due for a re-rating, and minor drops are a buying opportunities!!!!!!!
The market will not pay for something it has no knowledge of!!
One last comment, I really can't understand the "logic"/purpose/reason for VCR NOT publishing these information!!!!.....The question I have is.....Where is the benefit in NOT publishing this information. One would have thought that, for an under-valued stock, management would be dying to release any news that might prop-up the sp. Yet, there isn't any.....Why?? Where is the benefit???
That's the question for 2008, as far as I am concerned!!!!
