At what point does NR throw up their hands and say, screw IPIX, we can work other startups and make more money much easier? Or are we saddled with this sorry lot for good?

Once NR sees that IPIX doesn't have to issue stock to meet operational costs and IPIX starts gaining additional partnerships, is there any reason for them to stay other than stubbornness and not wanting to be seen as losing for a change?

My own opinion is that we still see massive peaks and valleys after the first partnership is signed. If others see the same thing and everyone is going to sell a portion of their holdings at the first slowdown in price appreciation after the announcement of the deal, then the peak/valley scenario becomes almost a certainty.

This stock doesn't appear easy to figure out even after things start going our way in terms of incoming cash and market acceptance.
