"...anxiousness of those who haven't seen a news release they were hoping to see... so what?" Greg, the one thing we know about MRV is that you can almost always expect the unexpected. Those buys I made @ 22 1/2 looked so good previously, now? We've seen this b4, what is different now is the volume associated w/such moves. We've just given birth to 2 major new product lines, (I think), & have cleared the decks for OA to become a self operating entity. MRV is creating more potential new stars than the Orion Nebulae, a real birthing of startups, each w/substantial market potential. We've doubled in price from a few months ago, & we could easily double from here in a heartbeat if any of a dozen or so events take place. 2days move has cost me $$$, but I'll take some short term pain for the long term gains ahead.

re Dr. Rav-Noy's resignation: any commentary (and commentary was required) would have to be cautious in tone since the SEC would slam them for anything less and so would any lawyer looking for a reason to sue. This was wholly truthful in its essence. Now then, would the new board members have anything to contribute to the company? Surely the prestige of the Nobel winner will help with recruitment of a replacement, but Rav- Noy was COO, wasn't he? Not involved with R & D but an executive charged with running the company. Sounds as if there was a disagreement with the Board and either he fell out of favor or got p*ssed enough to round up his marbles and leave the game. Can only wonder what the issue was... Dee Jay
