I would be very pleased if things would calm down a little on this thread and the information posted backed up by sources and results. The press release, while very positive, was short on substance - no deal done, no distributer signed - a good plan but still a plan not a result. I want our management to announce substantive progress and not "vaporware". If this, in my view, premature announcement was in aid of the purported short squeeze to finally let this company get on with its business ther might be some small justification. Of course, I fail totally to see anything in that little adventure that will help this business grow and prosper. I also would very much like to know where you, Riley, get your information to support your opinions on which a number of people are making serious financial commitments. I would also be grateful if you would temper your promotional and speculative comments. I would like to attract some of the more analytical investors from SI to this stock but they are VERY hard nosed about data. We could use their perspective. Please understand that this is not an idle rant or meant to be a personal attack. I want to own another thriving, growing profitable company in the company of other investors who can aid the effort with cogent facts and analysis of many kinds. I admit, grudgingly, that it is kind of fun to watch the wilder gyrations but I also keep thinking about the added stress on management and the uncertainty passed on to OUR workers - bad for morale, bad for profits. Well, enough, I hope all our diverse agendas can be met peacefully and profitably to all the stakeholders in OVIS. I'll behave now. Ken Ludwig |
