re: Ejabat's statement of: "I don't run the company to satisfy
shareholders"...


One thing you must realize is that he really does not mean what he says! Knowing the persian culture very well and the fact that Ejabat is Persian I can with confident say that this sort of statement is beased on the Persian manhood, tough guy talk mentality and does not mean a thing whatsoever! I believe when Ejabat made such a statement he was under so much nag from analysts and instead of cooporating with them and trying to be a politician, his Persian background immediately triggerred the nonesense in his own mind tough statement he made! (Remember Ross Perot in 92 election and how he attacked the journalists in that famous news conference when he said: I dont have to answer to anyone!)

Anyhow, despite the fact that I am a bit upset with his management style (after all business is definitely different in the US than in Iran where he is originally from), I am confident of his hard work (again based on his Persian background and the willingness to win at all costs). Perhaps the only reason at this time (especially after finding out the latest insider sellings) that has kept me from using ASND as a tax write off for this year is because of Ejabat's background as a Persian and knowing deep inside that he will get the job done at all cost to get to the top again.
