cst and pgl: 2 gravy trains running?, page-17

re: cst -that is crap I can't imagine a situation wher the US millitary wouldn't wait 4weeks or 3 months for guidelines as they have little to gain and loads to risk.

I can't see any civillian or millitary doctor risking using a product possibly outside guidelines on a product they know requires it unless it a last resort in a life or death situation.

I am not aware the us millitary has done bulk processing trials using G which would be the first part of the ramp up within their path lab providers.

The rumour about 10 mill is not unexpected and I am glad CST hasn't risen to the newspaper bait as many government organisations require a audited capital statment for approval before being able to accept tender or sign contracts. Many have minimum requirements with contracts over certain values. They would use a bank bond / guarantee more likely as they have no debt. 1 yeas cost of the bond would be the same as the fee to place new shares and suck up to a broker?? That bond is sufficient and they have enough short term working capital. As for inventories I am not yet convinved of such a massive number and perhaps the reported got it wrong and maybe it is 10 million tests for a start. We know the tests cost very little to produce and can only assume they would have a specific bulk back for us millitary path lab instead of bulky overpackaged retail pack as no one wants their fridge space full of packaging.


PS still got a few 44's as part of your chrissy present as those others have pulled off their blindfolds for the minute
