an announcement of moving forward with positive outcome would be a good update at this point.

positive actions that progress the company by adding (cash) value are the only things we really require to maintain our confidence and any actions that increase market capitalization will increase our confidence and general market sentiment.

a stagnation in volumes shows that there isn't enough happening to warrant it, realignment of "a spec company vision" to treat themselves as a mid/large cap company in terms of capability/progress and goals will influence growth more than their experience allows them to "see".
