<<But I cringe every time he appears on camera. It is partly his thick accent. Lets face it, if he appears on national TV, and his audience can't understand him, that reflects poorly on the company. And it goes further than that. He has always had a difficult time "pitching" like Chambers can do, and McGinn too.>>
But, Gary, everyone familiar with the high-tech industry would know that foreign accents are a fact of life in that territory. When I made my decision to invest in ASND years ago, I had never seen or listened to Mory before. Actually, I never considered that as a factor in making my decision. I looked at the numbers, the hard facts, and the prospects of the business. Besides, Mory would never have had the chance to ascend to the top of ASND if he did not have the relevant qualifications in such a cutthroat competitive business. As for the comparison between Mory and John Chambers, looking at the chart below, I would say that Mory's accent did not have an effect on ASND investors and it outperformed CSCO about 4:1 since ASND's inception, and the future even looks brighter.
