Philip: Let's hope that Mattson people sometimes read this thread and perhaps come to understand that: MANAGING YOUR SHARE PRICE has huge importance, because it is your own private currency. They need to understand that there is more to it than: -- having even an excellent CFO who gets maybe another analyst on board -- mounting a tiny IR department who are given nothing to work with -- the occasional press release That may be overly critical of MTSN--they may do hugely more than that. If so, as a shareholder, I should easily know that. Somebody should be WANTING that I know that, so that I hold on to my shares rather than selling them. Even the most rank neophyte understands that if you have a small float AND keep your current shareholders so happy that they have NO desire to sell, then share price growth can be explosive because any significant new demand is chasing so few shares. Is this news to MTSN? Of course not! What are they doing about it? Who knows? Am I selling my shares? (again for the benefit of Ian) of course NOT! Is this a reason that MTSN should seemingly be so moribund? Definitely not! Best wishes, Jim
