Roger and all: nice piece on DDIM at street.com. 100% in line with the views at SI and then more.... the last two paragraphs as a sample; While his corporate office sat empty, Martin was a regular presenter at investment conferences, meeting with the fund managers, and always available for the financial press. But filings with the SEC show that he's also been regularly available to his stockbroker, selling 18% of his stake in the company while he was out pitching the stock to investors. On Feb. 26, he sold 300,000 shares at 19 3/16 for $5.8 million. He sold another 130,000 shares May 14 at 31 7/16 for a cool $4.1 million. Now, with his stock price on the rocks, Martin is trying to stem the tide with a series of ballyhooed announcements, first with the appointment of the new CFO, then Monday, naming Thomas Clark to head up the newly created Ardes 2K unit. "It's just taken so long to find these kind of quality people," says Martin. "It's still early in the Ardes 2K process. But I still hope that we can meet our goals." thestreet.com Pancho
