Harold,

I would never form such a hasty conclusion. What is the sense of asking a question if one already knows the answer?

Red flags indicate risk. But no enterprise is devoid of risk. I simply interpret them: "Proceed Cautiously," unless they are in sufficient number to dissuade me from continuing at all. But I have not yet reached that point.

The hasty removal of a conference call may be determined by legal or competitive factors that do not necessarily have anything whatever to do with the probity of management. If done for appropriate reasons, it may not necessarily suggest a lack of transparency. I am simply left pondering what such reasons they might be. As you recall, I simply asked the thread whether such early removal of cc webcasts was their convention. I am somewhat surprised to have received no reply as of yet.

The release of extremely material information one minute before the close of trading is much more serious. It warrants SEC scrutiny in my opinion. If no immediate and spontaneous explanation is offered by management, that too is telling.

I hope that the silence I have encountered thus far is not an indication of complacency on the part of investors.

Indeed, that might be the reddest flag of all.
