Not sure if I am reading this right or not. You guys tell me.

Heres a piece of information you all may like or dislike. While researching another stock I decided to check MRVC's stats. Check this out.........

Ok MRVC fans. we have 59.37% position held by institutions. We have another 31.42% held by Lotan, Margalit, and Ray Noy Zeev. Thats 90.79% of the total. Am I reading this right? Thats roughly a little over 2 million shares left for us to gnaw around on between us. This doesnt include any other interest below 5% though I would imagine there may be a couple at 1% or so.

And of course I cant let this pass by. 59.37% of the shares outstanding are held by institutions. I wonder how they ever heard about MRVC? What is it that this many institutions see in MRVC? I suspect we all know the answers to these questions, so you need not hear my spin.

I just figured out how mauch of the company I own. Wow, do I feel inferior now. Take the total number of shares you own and divide by 22,200,000 and you too can feel what insignificance is like.

Regards All,
Sam
