TO: ALL CVIA SHAREHOLDERS AND THREAD PARTICIPANTS, Here is another update of " The 1161 Express Shareholder Action Plan" as at 8:05 A.M. on Monday December 22, 1997. Keep in mind that these are only the number of shareholders that have publically declared that they have forwarded CVIA Shareholder information to CVIA Management! ( So there may very well be more CVIA Shareholders that have communicated with CVIA Management, however they have chosen not to express there activity to this point in time!). Well yesterday's update had us at " 39 " participating CVIA Shareholders, as of now we are at " 46 ".. In case your interested, the break down goes like this! 26 of the participants are CVIA Thread Participants that are members of S.I.--------- and the remaining 20 are individuals that follow the CVIA thread on S.I. but are unable to contribute postings as they are not as of yet S.I. members! ( I did find it interesting to note that about 43% of the CVIA Shareholder Participants were non S.I. members!) I always felt the number would have been significant from non S.I. members, as I recall before I joined I lurked for the longest time, wondering what I would say or be able to contribute on the threads! Several of them have indicated to me that they plan on joining S.I. in the near future! For Your Information And Update! In closing, I have made some long winded postings, regarding the 'Action Plan", thanks for bearing with me! Assuming that the # " 46 " is sufficient in Shareholder support to assist/help the CVIA merger efforts, then we have made a significant contribution, and have played an active role in our investment! ( Just my own opinion!) If there are CVIA Shareholders that are uncertain as to whether to communicate with CVIA Management in regards to the "CVIA Shareholder Action Plan" then your decision, either way could prove to be very critical in the timeliness/outcome of this scenario! Many of you have on various occassions have expressed the fact ( in various ways) that you wanted to have some input as to the future outcome in the CVIA merger process! Well here is your opportunity! There certainly has been much written/contributed to this CVIA thread, expressing and addressing all sides of various views and opinions. ( Positive, Negative and Neutral!) I feel my hounding CVIA Shareholders to think about participating in the "CVIA SHAREHOLDER ACTION PLAN" must now come to an end! I will continue to be active on this thread, and if anyone takes the time to go back and review the various postings on this CVIA thread, they will probably get a general idea where CVIA has come from, and a direction that some of us hope that it will be heading! As it appears that we have a growing and developing thread , new and welcome participants appearing on a regular or selected basis, I feel that it is important for me to tone down the length of my postings in order for all the other participants to make their contributions available! My guess is that the coming days, weeks and months, will bring more roller coaster days, that will leave us " scratching our foreheads"! We will probably continue to see all the market dynamics, with "who know's" maybe even some new twists! It is and will continue to be the responsability of each and every one of you to make your own decisions regarding any investment decisions that you make with your hard earned money! Probably more times than not, you will hear contradicting thoughts, opinions, speculation, from all points of view ! And unless you are very determined , assertive and diligent all the " good news/ bad news scenarios" --( whichever investment you are considering!)---will always appear to be clouding the investment issue! There is absolutely "Know One!" on the face of this earth that you should allow to make an investment decision for you! Nor should you ever make an investment decision based on someone else's recommendation or opinion! It may be possible that you are made aware of certain possible investment opportunities, but it is your job/responsability to come to your own conclussions and decissions! If something doesn't feel right, there will always be another opportunity to invest in an investment opportunity! I imagine that there are thousands or hundred's of thousand's of them out there in this world! Wishing All Of You The Wisdom And Fortitude To Make 1998 Your Year To Achieve Your Investment Goals And " Dreams ". MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wayne J.
