I just got off the phone with Peter. The pr is ready and will be out on Businesswire Monday morning at 9:30 am. He is very positive and said we will be rewarded for holding long. Many great things coming and he is planning a conference call in July for shareholders. Said the plans for the shareholders are better than any corp he has ever seen and unheard of. I feel we are in for a long and very profitable ride here.
It will update us on where they are going. Should mention DLS and future plans(partnerships, etc). I mentioned that I was happy with the share structure for where we were heading and he said it will get even better. I don't know if that will be in the pr but it is coming also. Peter told me 100% certainty that we will be off the pinks this year.

New Online Services Tout Low-Cost Medical Tests By NICK TIMIRAOS June 20, 2006; Page D4
Online medical-testing services are proliferating as the drive for consumer-driven health care gains momentum, though some medical experts complain that self-ordered tests don't necessarily benefit the consumer.
At least two new online services have sprung up this year touting these low-cost medical tests. MedLabUSA.com and MyMedLab.com have joined HealthCheckUSA, DirectLabs.com and others in offering to set up patients for the same diagnostic tests as walk-in lab services, hospitals and clinics. Customers visit a Web site, select a specific test, enter a ZIP Code and receive driving directions to a specimen-collection laboratory. Users pay with credit cards or a health savings account and don't need their doctor's prescription -- unlike walk-in clinics, which typically require a personal physician's approval.
The services provide customers with a receipt to submit for reimbursement from an insurance company or health savings account. Most insurers won't pay for such services, however, unless the patient's doctor has ordered the test. As a result, online customers usually pay upfront for the tests themselves.
Customers are attracted to the online testing services because they are convenient and cut down on trips to the doctor's office. The online broker prepares paperwork for the lab visit, speeding patients through the process once they are at the lab. The online services advertise the labs they use are certified under provisions of a federal lab-safety statute.
The online services say in-house doctors approve requests for tests -- a personal physician's signature is usually required by commercial labs, including Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings, known as LabCorp, and Quest Diagnostics Inc.
"It was just like shopping for anything else online," said Susan Krogness of Cathedral City, Calif., a registered nurse who works in health-care information technology. "I haven't been to the doctor in a while and wanted to see where I stood." She said she didn't consult with her doctor before the tests and figures she won't need to now, since the results didn't raise any concerns.
Such testing services draw mixed reviews from the medical community. Some advocates think they help healthy people monitor their health status, while critics worry that results will be misinterpreted or ignored. Even though companies include an explanation of the results and tell patients to share them with doctors, especially if tests show abnormalities, doctors fear that patients could rely on incomplete data or false readings.
"Do you know what to do with the results?" asked J. Edward Hill, a Tupelo, Miss., family physician and past president of the American Medical Association. Critics admit that the tests may be helpful in limited scenarios -- checkups to monitor cholesterol-fighting statin drugs, for example -- but too often they mislead patients, potentially leading to higher health costs later.
Despite such concerns, some physicians predict that more health systems will start offering online tests as a service to their patients. "Anything that can get people to a higher level of awareness of their own health status and get them to take some ownership is positive," said Bruce A. Friedman, emeritus professor of pathology at the University of Michigan Medical School.
The medical-testing trend is similar to initiatives undertaken by drug companies in recent years. "Pharmaceutical companies...have taken the product directly to the consumer. 'If you think this drug is right for you,' they say, 'check with your doctor.' That will be happening with blood tests within the next few years," said John Bell, chief executive at Direct Laboratory Services Inc., which operates DirectLabs.com.
Customers include health-conscious people who want tests to monitor their cholesterol, as well as uninsured people who don't want to pay for regular doctor visits. Online and walk-in lab services also target individuals concerned about confidentiality. Other tests include screenings for heart disease, diabetes, iron overload and sexually transmitted diseases. Self-test results don't become part of a medical record, so they aren't reported to insurance companies.
Ms. Krogness says she completed a "wellness panel," an $85 comprehensive screening that includes liver, kidney, iron and cholesterol tests, after reading about MedLabUSA.com online. An email directed her to a lab operated by LabCorp three miles from her home, and two days later she received an email that told her she could download her results.
A blood test on MyMedLab.com sells for $45, compared with $295 at the local hospital, says company president David Clymer. "We're trying to reach people who are stuck in a market where their only option is a hospital lab," he said. "We're not simply 20% cheaper -- we're 20% of [the hospitals' cost]. That's how consumer-driven health [care] is supposed to be."
Advocates maintain that as patients get less face time with their doctors, tests can provide them with helpful information so that they know what questions to ask their doctors. Despite a large potential market and the appeal of cheaper alternatives to hospital tests, the online model remains a tough sell.
Quest Diagnostics, a leading diagnostic-testing company, ended its online retail unit, QuesTest.com, in March because of poor sales performance. "I hated to see them go," said Mr. Bell. He added QuesTest.com helped "legitimize a gray area." Quest Diagnostics, Lyndhurst, N.J., tests patients at walk-in service centers, but those require patients to have a doctor's order.
LabCorp doesn't offer direct-to-consumer tests, citing its desire to keep physicians in the loop. However, most of the online brokers are able to use the LabCorp network for their direct-to-consumer business.

An article on Direct Lab Services, Inc in the Wall Street Journal is really something. I can understand how some physicians like it and some don't. The ones that don't like it is because they don't get the office visit unless something turns up LOL. From the article......"Customers are attracted to the online testing services because they are convenient and cut down on trips to the doctor's office. The online broker prepares paperwork for the lab visit, speeding patients through the process once they are at the lab. The online services advertise the labs they use are certified under provisions of a federal lab-safety statute."......A nice unbiased article from the WSJ.
I'll bet the other companies mentioned in the article aren't too happy about the new sherriff (RXPC) in Town LOL. LH trades for $61.29, DGX trades for $57.95 and ESRX trades for $67.27. RXPC will be right up there with them before too long IMO. GLTA

Thanks Johnwayne. I was just sharing my positions without being specific. One thing I don't want to act like on the board is something I am not. Eventually people get themselves tangled in the web they weave and lose credibility. Much better to just be yourself, make friends and money together.
I am what I am. New to the Pennies and wanting to build my holdings (both cash and a few selected longs). I am happy making several plays that make me small gains to get where I want to be.
J_U_ICE, 10, Peaser and others have been very helpfull. It is amazing what you learn in one day watching a stock and watching the posts on the board alone. Not to mention all the good advice on the board.
So, thanks all!
Johnwayne, I could sit beside you in your Dodger gear at the park (PNC Park of course) and watch the game. Have a few $8 beers, peanuts and some dogs. It's all good my friend.

I agree Monday is the start of a run but don't be disappointed if it is not an explosion. IMO, this is a longer term play, should be an easy 10 bagger+ by end of year. Alot of things to come, contracts, partnerships, financials for full reporting, and a move to the NAS. CEO has said to me that there is much more in the pipeline.
Daytraders will have trouble flipping this as the MMs have tended to keep a wide spread on this. It will tighten some but I just don't see this being a flippers stock. A nice steady climb is what I see here. GLTA

Keith- Direct Labs merger was supposed to be completed June 15 so some are expecting tomorrow's PR to either announce completion date of merger or at least provide update.
To address your con question, I think most can agree the low volume needs to pick up. That should happen with good news.

I don't want to even speculate on this comment found on the website in talking about RXPC with LH (Lab Corp) and DGX (Quest).
"As our companies join together, our highest priorities are to ensure that our customers experience no disruptions in service and to use this opportunity to further improve the level of service we provide".
If we are working with or partnering with them forget about it. They have twice as many shares out then we do and trade in the $60.00 per share range. GLTA.
