Something has definitely changed - is it a positive or negative development? I have no idea - once again, as shareholders we're left to figure it out on our own. And it's slightly insulting to our intelligence to bring in Bruce Patterson to talk about the science, but with no update whatsoever -- clearly the whole interview was to break the licensing news. Just break the news.

To be clear, I'd be supportive of holding out for a better deal - but it would be nice to know if that's the driver vs the deal falling apart for some other (negative) reason. I get the confidentiality laws, but I think he could absolutely say something like "we've seen additional interest from other groups", or "our opportunity set has expanded" or anything....hell, even a thumbs up....

if the stock takes an additional beating, i'll guess i'll be buying more in the 20s (hopefully not in the 10s), and Santa will be bringing me switches and coal - which my wife may use to whip and burn me after she sees the 2019 performance of my stock holdings......
