"Michael said if the stock goes up, next year he'll buy me the other half of the dress." As Wayne and Garth would say .... "sha-wing". Down Boy! Mr. Rising BeanStalk

In covering the Corel "gala" the Ottawa Citizen wrote: "The outrageous wife of Michael Cowpland was the main attraction at the Corel Draw Gala yet again this year, wearing a clinging dress that left even less to the imagination than previous frocks...But not even the glamour of Hollywood could compete with Mrs. Cowpland, the real draw of the gala. She was dripping in diamonds, including long earrings, a choker necklace, bangles and an enormous square-cut ring. But her most alluring gem was a diamond she wore on her pierced navel, which only showed up when reflected in the flash of photographers..." All paid for, of course, by Cowpland's proceeds from the sale of his stock to people like you and me just before Corel releases bad news that takes 35% off the share price! The Citizen also wrote the gala cost nearly $1 million. Great use of corporate resources! Good to see the focus is on shareholder value! At the "gala" Cowpland's wife joked, "Michael said if the stock goes up, next year he'll buy me the other half of the dress." And he said if the stock price goes down because the company releases bad news, he will be sure to sell half of his position to unsuspecting investors right before the company releases the news! This is really rubbing our noses in the dirt! IT IS TIME NOW MORE THAN EVER TO: FOCUS ON THE LAWSUIT AGAINST COWPLAND AND COREL!!!

More from the Ottawa Citizen article on the gala... "Mr. Robinson not only designed the dress specifically for Mrs. Cowpland, who is known to revel in shaking up staid Ottawa crowds -- he designed it right on her, moulding the gauzy insert to her body. "There isn't any room for error in this dress," said Mr Robinson. Just like there is no room for error when it comes time to insert product into the channel to inflate sales. Happy Investing! Vanni
