I would hope by now most on this thread would know I am a stright shooter. < Contrary to what I have read on other posts, GJ is not demoted or side-tracked, he stepped up to the position of Vice Chairman of the Board.> As I had posted several months ago, I believe after a period of cooperation with TH, GJ will be moving on to S3 Sibira office recently opened in England, until things cool down and he decides to move on. Based on what I heard, it was more important to keep him short term to help with the transition than to pick up another 1/4 to 1/2 point on the stock price to dump him now. I was told that timing would be " cutting our nose to spite our face". <Generally, when you are CEO, COO and/or President you are in a position where you can be kicked out. Once you're on the Board you can do the kicking.> Based on what I am hearing as soon as things "cool down" GJ will "fade away". <The fact he has moved up indicates the company still feels that way.> Don't count on that. < However, it is unclear what his immediate area of responsibility will be, but I am sure it is needed.> I believe his respondiblity will be assisting TH with the transition. Again, between TH and Walt(I am very impressed with Walt)its a very strong start to rebuilding the management team.
