The Cooper Companies commands almost one-third market share in rapidly growing specialty lenses, multifocal lenses and torics. The company continues to garner market share by growing at two to three times (or about 12%) the market growth rate.
The outlook for the contact lens industry is favorable. A fall in dropout rate of contact lens wearers and further market penetration, especially in developing nations, is expected with continuous improvisation in the technology.
Go $EPGL....filings, PRs, conference calls, webcast, smoke signals.....

Seriously I think Cooper is announcing in on the 11th to their investors. This will be their announcement to the world.
Epgl....agreed, still an awesome day for epgl..
A nice pr confirming a closed deal..and potential future partnerships with other major companies.."open source".in the works here...and also a sec filing validating epgls partnership with COO. A great day for epgl..
Glad to be apart of this MONSTER yet tiny little otc company..
Epgl.....weeeee!!!
It just makes for a long, long weekend
Hopefully COO releases this information on their website so we get the news out there . Mike and Epgl have done an amazing job with this company and to be able to negotiate deals with companies like COO from a pink sheet stock is unheard of. This proofs to all the naysayers that EPGL is not only for real but working with some real special technology for a company like COO to notice. There is no doubt that this deal will attract the attention of other major companies. Great job MIke!!!! I just wish u would spread this information a little better I might have to print the filing out get my staple gun and start hitting the trees around my neighborhood ...lol
I agree disappointed too
When we leave pinky land we remove ourselves from a lot of the flippers.

I don't think the sell off today was attributed to the R&D or agreement with COO... I think it is because people saw the PR and thought it didn't contain the information they were expecting... Not realizing that the supplemental information was the meat that we were all looking for. Once light was shown on that filing, the selling bottomed and there was aggressive buying to back it up, until the last minute of the session. The news is great and once COO releases news it will bring new eyes here that typically wouldn't invest in the pinks. Next week will be green
Ok thanks I'll be putting in multiple orders because I'm new to this and I don't know shit about charts.
What I do know is the more I buy the more rich I will be
Whatever!! EPGL's tech is real! Deal with it!!
Just wait until COO starts talking. Will be back later, going out for dinner.
How come they didn't release the cooper news in a PR ?? That is some major information it should have been stated in the pr that was released. Not complaining just curious on why major news like this would not be released all over the place. This news needs to be disseminated all over the web.jmo
I still wonder if they have relevant technology...
This COO news is positive in that they have something worth throwing some R&D dollars at!
However, it in no way justifies the current share price and market cap!
I challenge anyone to show a more accurate post than mine 2 weeks ago predicting a hype run up to the news, news of a joint R&D development that disappoints, and the resulting sell off!
Now that said, I predict possibly months before any more real news emerges, and a slide in share price...
Well. EPGL made a great connection with Cooper. They have 165PP
EPGl+COO then GOOG
Great news indeed, EPGL really starting to shed her pink. It can no longer be contested that EPGL is not a real player - HUGE!
Now that the first announcement milestone has been reached I do hope that we will see more information begin to flow through trusted mediums. Good numbers would be a plus but being realist I am not expecting much there yet.
I greatly look forward to what the upcoming weeks bring, it will be a ride for sure.

Cool, I didn't even know that COO Headquarter is in my town.
Today shouldn't discourage anyone... Of course, everyone expected a higher PPS or, at least, a green close. We didn't get that, WHICH IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!! What we did get is confirmation that we are working directly with COO, and it's because they want to develop our technology, and... Pay for it! And not only that, we also get a PR that we are in talks with giants from other industries... This is AMAZING news guys. Hell yeah it would have been awesome to close at 10+ or open next week with a nice gap and run (which might still happen now that the events can be digested)... But regardless of today's closing price, we got exactly what we all wanted and we will see significant value increase in each of our shares in the near and long term! Nice work EPGL, I'm happy to be a part of the future
