Comments:

GRY is a market darling supported by some important and prestigious institutions, is doing very well, and rightly so.

Promoting BAB in a professional way, to these institutions (when BAB lists), will be an important task.

Finding the right MD and CEO to undertake these tasks for BAB will be critical.

Finding supportive financial institutions will be critical to BAB.

The BAB team, when they are formed, could learn a lot from GRY, and might consider using the GRY model as a template.

When BAB lists, a 25 cent share, has the potential to appreciate by more than 500% within 2 years, to approximately equal the current GRY value (bearing in mind that GRY has recently come down from $2).

It is now all up to the board and management of BAB (coming to a screen near you in March/April 2012).
