Now if this can rub off on DAD, all to the good!

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the Caramilk ice cream. I think it will be a big winner for DAD. Caramel in ice cream, I read recently, is very big right now.

I'm pleased to see the high regard the new COO is held in, Mark. I surely wish him well in his new job. My money in DAD shares is riding, in very large measure, on his success!!

Cheers,

Don

Research Capital seems to be buying all the stock the past few days. I wonder what's up?

>>>If your wager is an open one, I will publicly accept your wager about profitability taking two years, and will even bet that they have a profitable quarter in less than 1 and 1/2 years.<<<<

Hi Mark, sorry for not responding sooner. Consider the bet a done deal - $100 that DAD will not have a profitable qtr. in 1 and 1/2 years from now i.e. the next 6 quarters. (Not that I enjoy winning on the negative side).

On a different note I found it a little bit interesting with the DAD's new CFO hire from Unilever(i.e. Good Humor Breyers) as I also used to work in finance for another Unilever subsidiary (Lipton) for about 6 years. I left about a 18 months ago. GHB is also filled with many former Lipton finance people. Including their semi-new V.P. Finance. With Unilever and Nestle going head-to-head in the ice cream market I'm sure we'll see a continuous squeeze on margins.
