That's how Ed always dresses. Check out his photo on the Xybernaut web page. I actually prefer it when the mucky-mucks dress like normal people. It makes for a more pleasant working environment. Do you trust people who wear expensive suits better than people who dress comfortably? This is my interpretation of the interview, at any rate.

As far as the stock dropping after the interview, the complaints about his attire were merely an excuse for the 'dump on news' after that remarkable pump. That stock price was obviously unsustainable without product to sell.

As far as the stock activity, I appreciate the heads-up. I'll look into it, but probably won't get too worked up over it. I was really new to the concept of pump-n-dumps back then and, after riding up the front side, was just hanging on the backside trying to figure the thing out. I learned much, but as it turns out, I still have heaps to learn.

Shoe.
