Mr Bishop is an honest and conservative engineer and CEO. He is the personification of honor and honesty. Did anyone hear Mr. Bishop say with gusto, "We are going to burn the shorts" Enquiring minds want to know.

GB> If he has any sense that the deals will not go through then he should not be using them to talk up the stock in a forum viewed by many investors

Bishop actually didn't make any statements that could cause him or SGI any damage other than "he thought" SGI was undervalued.

If "Bishop thought" any of these "potential" sales would lead SGI to profitability anytime soon, he certainly would have mentioned it, but he didn't.

You can only assume the SGI's legal dept gave him very precise language to use in the interview, and when Bill Grif. pressed him, he began to tap dance like a dancing bear.

Talk is cheap "two back to back quarters of earnings" of only $.01, is what SGI needs to regain some sense of respectability, but don't expect to see it anytime soon.

Don
