<<< It is amazing! I can't imagine how some of these people can actually make money in the market. The fipflopping blows me away.>>>

Agreed, however let me add the following:
1. I hand it to cRocky for being right (for the wrong reasons). If you don't hand it to him now it might be a long time before your next chance.
2. The revenues were lower than my expectations by 110 million. I do not think that can be attributed to Asia. If we entered the quarter with over 300 million backlog, there has to be either a production, distribution or sales problem. The only other explanation would be my expectations. I want to know which.
3. I have been invested in this company for 18 months, this is the first time that the company has disappointed me. This is not the end of the world (or my interest in the company) but honest answers and better information should now be demanded from management.
Just my opinion.

Ira, I'd like to state for the record that even though I gave Rock a
pat on the back, I still think Rock is a nut-case, but a lucky nut-case and that he will miss something grand...
