APHRO - what would you suggest the CEO does? As Alan Sugar said a while ago something like "I have no idea why the SP of the company is 20p one day and 80 the next. The stockmarket is a virtual market sitting over the actual companies althoutgh in derivatives there's virtual on virtual ultimatley sitting on the chips, bricks etc of the physical world. In fact a cynic might say the market doesn't need any real companies only a news and rumour generator!
The physical world of course needs real profit and that will ultimatley drive the SP into the market world. For NXT they don't have much if any control over the arrival of cash as they are not end producers. So I wonder what you suggest the CEO does? I suppose he could ask NEC to start marketing the Valustar range worldwide for example or Apple to sell docking speakers with every iPod.
Maybe your wife needs to consider NXT as a gamble (as any stock related investent really is). Say 70% it will fly into profit and 30% the other. Viewed this way the only question is when will we know it up or down - maybe in 06 or at latest I suspect 07.
Have nice day
