Common sense can take you a long way. If the leadership of this company doesn't succeed in bringing AMBS to fruition then all the stock options in the world will be useless. Gerald will have to dust off his resume and go look for a new job with a failed start up as his last gig. All the BOD and BOA will have a black eye for their association with this failed attempt and certainly will have their reputations in a close knit industry damaged. Whether or not they are sticking to stated or investors personal "deadlines" or not, common sense tells me that if they are doing everything in their power to nurture this company. I for one and not holding them to any year end deadlines. Do I want and expect the pps to increase or explode? of course. If common sense didn't tell me that would happen I'd be gone. Thankfully our leadership doesn't dwell on the past like some here and is looking to the future.
