Hi Wayne! Even though I have a heavy load of CVIA shares, and have spent many hours (and days!) doing my DD, I try not to get emotionally attached to this stock, it is, after all, a risky venture. But: I personally have the following reasons to invest in this stock: #1 Jack Arnold has been very upfront with us shareholders. #2 The first acquisition candidate has $350-525,000 in profits, I think I should do OK even if the number of shares issued and outstanding doubles (everyone is encouraged to do their own math and risk assessment). How many profitable companies do we know that are trading for a few pennies? Also, "...Several highly profitable independent tire distributors, and fuel and lubricant distributors have contacted WOTD and CVIA with the desire to be acquired..". #3 For those who think the whole CVIA story is just a scam, and don't want to spend too much time researching: CVIA is at (or near) its 52wk low! Let me forget all my DD, and be cynical for a moment: I think we would have seen a good pump action, and a significant price increase in that case, wouldn't we? ;) #4 Jack Arnold is not looking for an exit - he will remain with the new company as the IR person. #5 IMO, more and more people realize the potential here: "..WOTD and CVIA have also been contacted by unsolicited entities wishing to invest in WOTD's growth-by acquisition program..." Well, folks, I was trying to be as objective as possible, tell me if all this makes any sense! Best of luck to all CVIA investors! Milk

I wonder what Jack Arnold is going to think when he reads a contribution that was made on the CVIA thread, that suggested that, CVIA Shareholders get out while the exit door is still open!" I've been around SI long enough to recognize the type of post that: bursts into a thread, claims that the concern is going under, posts a "buy xxxx instead!" then is never heard from again. There are two ways to deal with it: 1) Ignore it 2) If it's annoying or disruptive, contact SI management. That usually does the trick. I agree with Milk's post. For me, CVIA is a risky, but promising long term investment. If I loose all the money I've put into the stock, it'll be a sad event, but it won't break the bank; I'm willing to take the risk. I don't worry too much about drops in stock prices now, because the company isn't producing anything; any swings in stock price lacking news (re: the merger talks) are just plain speculation, and other than an opportunity to add shares, it's of little concern to me. When things start to move and there's real money and product being produced, then it's time to pay close attention to stock fluctuations. Just my opinion, do your DD, etc. Frank
