This is ridiculous messages.yahoo.com. On market caps: 2 Possibilities A. We are wrong about MRVC and its prospects B. We will make a fortune. Regarding A - Maybe our products are not category killers or even big sellers, or even needed. Do we have anything or not in Beta that clearly has a market. Maybe we are late to the game or seen as technologically inferior or unable to sell whatever we do produce. Regarding B - No comment needed - however, the market is hot now and I suspect these valuations will be reigned in in the not to distant future. I concerned about timing and would like to see at least a statement from MRVC stating that they are exploring strategic options, have hired a banker and provide a timetable for a decision to sell all or parts of the Company.

<<This is an interesting thought - how about comments on this post>> this should have been listed under the "this is ridiculous" post. would do far more harm than good. first, it raises the entry barrier for small investors. second, it would lover the float 4-fold, which would chase away the institutional buyers. third, i have YET to see a reverse split work in a positive manner. it usually signifies a company is having problems and needs to increase the stock price so it won't go into penny stock range and won't become unmarginable... i have the feeling he was posting that in a "tongue in cheek" manner...if not, he needs to have his head examined. greg
