Hi, Jim A! .[ Attn: All Shareholders ]
Well, don't get me wrong. I'm not a happy stockholder either. And the contradictions in PR and actions bother me. But I think much of what is going on at the moment here is not a measured response, and is mostly counterproductive. There are more temperate alternatives to this style of dialog
I appreciate the above statement you made, Jim Armstrong, very much. In fact all of them in your post!
The Creativity and limits of each individual really add to the bitter and sweet senses of this investment world, while we "make and withdraw bets", watch, and wait.
I personally feel Jack Arnold set a very fine example, despite any limitations, to do what he could.
It's evident. Matt knows that Jacks example means much to all investors here, and realizes you all possess two sources of power. "money you have invested" and "thought", Just like Jack.
I agree with you totally. But in one of your comments, may I re-arrange one phrase?
and company's choice might not be ideal, but given the risk involved, where would you go? ("no fair", Matt. We don't all have the resources you have alluded to. And it's evident they didn't either).
What is "fair" -is your desire for creative thought and your indication "the merger may fall through". What then with CVIA?? -As you suggest- A high possibility can exist!
You have added strength to someone's unconventional line of thought.
It would be unfair to all shareholders if Matt's creative suggestions were passed off as impossible. Shared ideas of another CVIA solution might help everybody understand there really is something to fall back on, and their investment/gamble may still be good without WOTD.
Why not take good ideas and add thoughts to them here for the "just in case"? Imagine the way CVIA investors could effectively contribute to and benefit from the advantage of being a publicly traded entity. Why not? You already are CVIA!
This is not for amusement. It may become a job for some appointed group of shareholders here in the near future. Time to figure it out would actually be now.
If talks fall through, be ready to catch CVIA. If you are ready, you will want it.
