SEVEAL SUBJECTS TO MENTION THIS EVENING. i all ready have the list of what i will discuss with prln at the meeting. i do not need any from others.but, do appreciate the effort to help me.. as to what they can and can not say to stockholders at this conference.. they can say anything they wish and , folks, its all legal.believe me, i did my homework on this type of situation long time ago.. they release the information to the attending folks and provide it to the public press..such as dow, bloomberg, reuters.. now, the news services have no legal obligation to issue this news. many times, they do not follow thru on lots of companies press releases.so if it gets into the press fine, private lines, fine..if no one cares to pass it on, it is lost in the shade.. now we are not talking about insiders using information and selling or benefitting from this information as that is illegal..we are talking about expanding on public information.. we are talking about responding to stockholders, potential stockholders, and the invited folks to legitimate questions.. no one sits with a lawyer and asks, can i respond? lets not get carried away. as to the sec and the f.b.i. and nasdq, i think they have more things to do then concern themselves with public statements that are made, in public. just for conversation. if merril lynch is there..and they hear something and tell two million of their public customers..would you not say, that is the real world. so if ten brokage houses are there, is that not enough? why the sudden urge to have them pipeline it to your house? can't their public relations outfit just issue a copy of what is said at the meeting, put it on a 800 number and let the whole world listen. isn't that what the company said they would do? |
