"OPERATION FRANKENSTEIN" - [An Alternative Use for the CVIA SHELL]
I am sure everyone is mildly aware of the turmoil
going on between Mr. Charles (Wotd), the CVIA Shell (being
represented by Jack Arnold a fully employed Pharmacist),
and the CVIA Shareholders.
It is a hardball game that I'm sure no investor
would enjoy single-handedly walking into.
Pardon my saying:
I am aware that "Milk" still holds shares enough to monitor
the situation closely, that "Matt" is holding his position,
And a newer player, "KAAnderson" has taken the train of thought
most effectively in a serious legal direction for reasons
he and others see as only proper.
However, the (thread's) situation is now in a rather
"lopsided" condition, and CVIA is in a weak spot should the
merger/acquisition talks fall through. I would like to see
this "weak spot" become one of CVIA's strongest assets.
I don't believe it is unethical for non-shareholders to
discuss some alternative possibility for the CVIA Shell.
Today is the present and tomorrow has many possible futures;
one of which Matt is thinking hard about alone until others
wonder as well. But "LATER" may be much too late.
I think Matt is on target. His ideas, if discussed by
several (and being reshaped into a general vote of approval)
would help to preserve the value of the CVIA Shell for
the continued WOTD bargaining at least, and open a path to new
possibility of a "stand alone company" at best.
Perhaps he is thinking just in time to have a great impact
on the future value of CVIA. His Idea raises an
important question:
"How might a group of people act in concert
to effectively turn a publicly traded shell into
(in his scenario) "an investment company"!?
I believe this question is a key thing to focus on
because, (what do you know!?) ...investment companies
are most conveniently run by ..(you guessed it!)
.....INVESTORS!
Many of the answers to this question can easily be out of one
persons reach. But just as easily, all the answers can be
revealed one at a time due to uniquely different people
participating in a group discussion.
So, I can think of some people I know that are good. Capable people
who have more than proven their motivation and desire to be
active in something much like this, and who already know they
can act together in harmony because of their experiences here
on SI. And they know other people as well who may have answers.
If CVIA (by some necessity) could have a lead suggested
by thoughtful people, control of it might very likely be
given to those people by the Shareholder vote!
Is this possible? I would think so!
In other words, I believe the people I want to send Matt's
letter to (and Matt himself) and many other present day
Shareholders are more than just "a cut above" the norm;
certainly capable of creating and operating a "well oiled
investment machine" if the idea intrigues them.
The expensive part is "the loss" that comes from not
thinking about such an opportunity.
Benefits of it actually happening are best just left to
anyone's imagination I suppose.
All I am really interested in now is being able to say,
"yup! Matt was right!" and "This is indeed stabilizing
the value of CVIA!"
A few minutes of spare time spent on the CVIA Thread
...just supposin'... may end up being a very educational
experience in several good ways, and the shareholders
would welcome the topic as a breath of fresh air as well!
So here is "Matt's letter" which makes me realize,
If the right "others" joined in, a viable and desirable
result could possibly be just over the next hill.
He sets a fine example that can be added on to
and revised until it is a "shoe-in" for all Shareholders
to vote yes on. (should the WOTD talks fail)

Here is the Revised Edition hot off the press!!
<< Mr. Lee,
Thanks for the feedback.
It makes me feel good when I make somebody have a "rush"!!
I agree, I think that the investors are a little angry,
upset and just want to get through this deal or the heck with it.
Not me. I think these WOTD guys are taking advantage of us
and I see a way to stop it. Or so to say,
I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I know it might sound crazy, but I believe I could
turn this company into a serious money maker, if they would just
vote me on as CEO or at least on the BOD.
I am out of school in 5 days and I would kill to have the
opportunity before me. I would love to be in Jack's shoes.
I have tons of time to research and plan and turn this into an
investment company. I believe I could majority turn this stock around.
Again, that might sound crazy, but you would just have to meet me.
Do you think these ideas are feasible?
I know what all the investors want and need, and I could deliver.
Based on the SI board and the Raging Bull, that would be a way
to communicate with me. I really wish I had the opportunity
to run this company.
I could cut costs by running out of my room with a few friends
(who are also fluent in the stock market and who, like I have
made considerable gains in the market). We could take all the
money out of the bank, put it into a stock account and just release
a newsletter weekly, BI weekly, monthly, etc.
Then of course report to the SEC.
Do with this email what you please, but if you think my ideas are
possible, then let's turn this baby around. I am not down on CVIA,
and I hate moaners and groaners, so I am looking for a solution
instead of sitting on my butt and complaining,
and I think I have struck gold!! :)
Plus here is another reason...I work for my dad currently.
I am only 15 (16 in 1 month) and I TRAIN all employees that come
through there. That shows you how much I am dedicated to my work
and the trust that he has with me.
Best Regards and Your Friend,
Matt
P.S. my new email is FatMatt15@aol.com >>
That should do..
***********************(end of letter)
All the thoughts contributed to this beginning can be
collected, examined, and mentioned periodically to
identify and work on the weak spots.
On the lighter side we might call this project
"OPERATION FRANKENSTEIN" because:
-the end product will consist of the odd contributions of many.
(My Brother will laugh when he reads this)
GOOD NEWS!
-Already this operation seems to have a Schoolboy's Heart!
Two Questions :
Is the wild "Frankenstein Mutual Fund" something to "really think about"?
( ...does CVIA have the money?)
Anyone else care to donate a thoughtful organ? <g>
Sorry this is so winded, but it's for a reason!
So, have some fun and think serious!!
The results can prove useful in many ways.
