<<She will put a positive "spin" on anything she says. This is not bad for stockholders.>> Karl, Not bad for shareholders? Huh? Apparently you are not familiar with the many "class action lawsuit's" filed by shareholders who lost money from a CEO misrepresenting the truth <HYPING>?? Cheers Steve

Karl: a positive spin on legitimate data is good for shareholders. No one would really expect a negative spin. However, exagerations or repeated promises that are unlikely to come to pass within stated time frames are not, IMO, good for shareholders either short or long term. There is a fine line between the two. As a shareholder of any company I would expect a positive spin. I would not however expect or appreciate exaggerated claims that more often than not don't happen within the time frame that the comments lead one to expect -- no matter how much I liked the company's product or believed in their ultimate chances for success. SOLVQ is a great example of the disasterous effects caused by management making exagerated claims -- While it may, at times, make a small positive difference in the very short term, it doesn't take too long for people to begin saying, "Yeh, right" whenever promises and predictions occur. It is also an invitation to massive shorting, which can have a long term negative effect on a company trying to develop and market a new product: just ask SOLVQ shareholders. The market rewards those that fulfil their predictions and promises and punishes those that don't. Which catagory would you rather have PLSIA in? Just my 2 cents worth.... Troy
