quidditch, disaster or design...

Revenues on machine building are basically completed, low margin or otherwise. Now these JVs, Ms. Bess and Mr. R. Earth, have to swim on their own, well not quite. They aren't adults yet and we are discovering that this may involve substantial 'funding' without being told their rate of maturation. Principles understood but business cards are under the table...what dilution will we mere mortal investors face if and when there are future large scale PV/Disk/Battery/OUM/ORFC/Catalyst/Analog?computer/Thin film/
Hydride world-scale operations created? Where will the decades-long bagholders be seated to view these possible grand announcements from the Ovonic podium, sometime in the future? Yes, some will have to lean forward under their burial stone to hear this future refrain.

I remember Mr. Holme's plaintive question. I had to hear and rehear the CC a hundred times to scribe all of it on my parchment. Despite my audio capture clumsiness, hearing statements like 'Next question please' after Stan's robust "YES" over-and-over while followup to the question is abruptly abandoned became on rehearing amusing, like watching a hot potato juggler. Back to Holme's point on considering dividends as a reward for the common bag-holding investor...

Somewhere inside this company there is a soul, but what is its' nature?
