OT. to Jim Geis I bought most of my SKI at under a buck, so I'm up. Sorry you and others lost on the preceding slide. I've lost on lots of other stocks and that's part of investing. So be it. Cutting losses is something we all struggle with. I have no difficulty seeing the relationship between SWEBF/SKI and NKC. I was here through all of it. The point I'm trying to get through is that XML is gone. It is not a NKC product any more. If you own this stock, it's for other reasons; for the potential that exists now. My problem with esecurities is that he/she? has little to add besides old grudges and charts of LEAF and LHSP, etc. etc. It's always easy to look back and cast blame. You guys blame management for 'giving away' XML, totally oblivious to its potential, yet esecurities, who was enthusiastic of XML at the time, aware of its apparent potential, is the one who stuck with this allegedly bad management, instead of moving on. Who made the bigger mistake? Not that long ago, I rode Corel down from $9+ to $2. Yeah I could blame Copeland, and the failed Corel Network Computer, or maybe the Java Suite,,,and it goes on. But who is really to blame???? me, for the poor management of my holdings. I should have decided that at 6 or 7 bucks, enough is enough, and sold at a smaller loss than what eventually happened. If you blame others for bad investment decisions, you don't learn from your mistakes, and you will probably end up broke. And this Calpers excuse is a bunch of crap. His post #3901, (my interpretation) is A) admittedly, unsubstantiated descriptions of someone else's conversations, and B) posted solely for the purpose of trying to ridicule and discredit Schneider. (the 'who knew?' statement) Simply more of the same old childish, negative crap that exists in so many other esecurities postings. You can't tell me for a minute that this guy doesn't hold a grudge against this company. If you believe esecurities, then you have to sell your stock and move on. This ongoing criticism of management isn't going to build shareholder value, it won't change their behavior, it certainly will not make them better businessmen, and it's certainly not what calpers would do. I own this stock, and I'm finally sick and tired of years of whining, negligence, fraud, smokin' guns, missed opportunities, blah blah blah. I think this company has a great opportunity to sell a ton of kids titles with some fantastic licenses, in a huge marketplace. I am one of the few to challenge the statements and accusations made by esecurities, and he has chosen not to reply to my one simple question. Why do you own NKCIF now? He probably doesn't know anymore. My humble opinions, of course, tj.
