Does not bother me one bit. This type of scrutiny is allowable. MVIS's main engine, the optical/electrical/manufacturing engineers, can hardly telecommute on a daily basis - this would only apply to a small subset (management and software staff). There are a lot of partnerships with more fluff than revenues, just check MVIS's own website and ask yourself, with how many of these you really know what's going on right now. My concern is that the de-emphasis you mentioned may happen in all MVIS's (ever-expanding list of) target markets before they ship a single unit in any of them. Maybe next they'll de-emphasize, say, the microdisplay market because TFS is cleaning up under our noses ? This hardly seems likely since recent investments specifically target this market, but a year from now who knows ? Take a look at the PR from last year and try to tell me where we stand on any of those initiatives today. I am done with giving them the benefit of the doubt. I want to hear concrete and regular progress updates on all of those partners, otherwise let's get them off the website and see where we really stand. A progress report on previously-announced "banner" partnerships every six months would do just fine.

About half of the stocks I watch are now trading at roughly half of their 52-week high. Thus, MVIS does not stand out negatively in that regard. And, there have been margin calls for some holders of this relatively-thinly-traded issue. Also, as pointed out on MVISpages, there has been no news lately of any apparent significance. These factors all contribute to the recent weakness. I guess I am still somewhat put off by the brittle and morally superior tone of the recent wave of criticism, esp. on MVISpages. It seems to me that underlying the bitterness is some resentment that the putative spokesmen for what is claimed to be between 8 and 12 percent of the shares outstanding are not accorded more deference by the company. MVIS cannot but assume, even in the face of strenuous denials, that all this is a reaction to the share price. And I'll bet that the real break between the company and MVISpages, recounted there today, came when the editors introduced the parking lot surveillance idea (ñ time clock, IMO) without any of the groundwork needed to support its rational use. Any who are dissatisfied are free to sell, although I would wait until the editors' suspected "masterstroke" is either revealed or refuted. We're staying long and waiting watchfully.
