Daviste, perhaps you are mistaking optimism for stupidity. Completion of stage 2 is that and only that. But for those who have been following, waiting for these results, which were thought to be release 12 months ago before additional assays were completed would know, this is the stage where BIT wants/needs a deal to progress. If they get that from Pharma, it is because pharma (who I presume knows more than you) is satisfied they have proved enough to progress. And if that is the case, it wont be just one pharma interested, and the value of the platform will need to be assessed. Hence the optimism.
