Jon, we should feel sorry for the Wall Street analysts. They have to work for a living and when they have swarms of dismayed shareholders in their ear because the great G! and Q! have crashed [in share price] I suppose they don't have time to figure stuff out. Also, they have to try to know too much stuff. We just hang around here, picking and choosing what to think and read about then go out into 3D to investigate, while answering to nobody if things go down. We just decide whether to buy more, swap over to bonds, abandon ship etc, with impunity. They don't have a chance against the Web private investors who have access to the same information, Datek and other low-cost trading sites and friends around the world with whom we synergize. We can ask Pete in Alaska for a count on Globalstar phones on the salmon-running river. Yamakita can tell us what the word on the street is about CDMA and WWeb applications. Insiders tell us what's really going on [such as whether G! satellites are sent up instead of down when they reach the end of their lives]. Anyway, thanks Jon and Rick for the complimentary comments. I thought excellent, profound thoughts would leave a sort of halo glow [like the cosmic microwave background radiation] but I didn't notice it, or the earth move! Quarter to quarter is a hell of a long time to go without MOU information. It's simply absurd given the importance of that single piece of information that it is held secret by insiders for such a long time. It introduces the risk that they could be construed as insider-traders and be prosecuted by the SEC if the information is known by more than one or two secretive people in Globalstar. It would NOT be a good look if somebody was prosecuted - it would make Globalstar look like a scam. They could avoid that risk totally and leave everyone free to trade on the open market by the simple expedient of publishing daily the MOU and cumulative total. The number of phone connections [total] would be good too, since there are significant royalties from handset sales and investors could take WAGs at MOU per handset likely to develop. That must be Jeanette Clonan's job since she is in charge of investor relations. How come all you shareholders in the USA don't fill their phones with demands that they publish the information? It's your company you know! They don't own it. She doesn't own it. She's working for you. It's not confidential or trade-secret type information. It exposes no commercial partners to competitive prying. It is simple, basic, essential information, whether good or bad. We are NOT living in Putin's KGB USSR. This is the freedom-loving open-society western world where democracy and free enterprise rule. Yes - we know that's an idle boast but it's a little bit true. Mqurice PS: When the Wall Streeters read our stuff, they have no idea who is who, who has credibility etc. They can't even lurk and get the information! They don't know who engineer, PHeilman, Mr Adrenaline, Dr Evil, Gregg Powers, Rocket Scientist, Klein Gilhousen, Jon Koplik, Valueman, Clark Hare, WMolloy, Steve Malsin, The Shy Guy, Khan, etc etc are. They have no idea which one gives out QUALCOMM golf balls - which I should add are USELESS!!! They make me focus so hard on the stupid ball and worry about losing it that they go flying all over the place - I've used them sparingly and I'm down to my last one. The Wall Streeters don't know which one really does know how to make CDMA phragmented photons zoom through an ASIC and out into the aether [okay, I know that's not technically exactly what happens, but you get the drift]. It's like Gregg Powers says - a single data point isn't much use. It's the big picture from publicly available information which counts. That takes some time to figure out and understanding the people who post here helps a lot. I suppose most Wall Streeters derive their opinions ready-made from Wall Street Journal, NY Times etc. Hahahahhaahaha!! Poor things. But at least they aren't separated out from the crowd which would be scary and hazardous to their continued employment. Those who shorted Q! on the basis of Wall Street's "Jacobs' Patter" having the apostrophe in the wrong place but being otherwise the right story would have lost big! Dweeb will be blundering around believing the big media. There's one born every minute. This is an official request for everyone to phone Jeanette Clonan, Bernie Shwartz and Tony Navarra and explain how the graph of MOU on the globalstar.com front page would be a GREAT help. We are a single-product company [almost] so it's a sensible thing to do. We don't even have fries to go with a Guy-Sized "Big Mack" Globalstar phone. If you are shy, send them an email. But don't be shy. They are nice, reasonable people. They won't bite. Or if they do, bite back!!! Yes, different minutes have different values to Globalstar, but MINUTES is a reasonable surrogate for dollars. It beats nothing! We want DAILY updates. We do NOT need 7 minute updates. DAILY is fine. We are long-term Day Traders, not 7 Minute Investors!! We want ice water in hell! Which is where we have been living and if we can't have that, MINUTES will be fine. Go on people, if you've read this far, do it NOW!!! Okay, that's overselling. Do it tomorrow. I think they have all gone home now. Or maybe next week.
