Hi Paul! I respect your opinion, but on the other hand, I do appreciate the way CVIA has presented what's going on. The press release said... "negotiations are underway to have private long-term investors buy out the debenture holders' interests" This tells me that they were apparently in actual negotiations with someone at the time. Whether or not it happens, I like the fact that they are making the effort to try anyway. Nothing is ever accomplished without first making the effort. CVIA certainly didn't have much of anything left for Jack Arnold to work with when he took over. I think he is making the effort and whatever the outcome, I appreciate what he is doing. This is a "penny stock." That alone speaks LOUDLY that it is risky. Investors are playing a long shot. But I believe it is becoming better every day. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." CVIA (and almost every other penny stock) is not the place to invest for predictability. It's a gamble. But even as a gamble, I like my odds here far better than anything in Las Vegas. Vegas IS faster. Fast action... quick results. But I'll take my odds with CVIA. :-) By the way, I believe the staff at CVIA is about 1 or 2 people. And when I last checked, Jack wasn't even getting a paycheck. He is trying to bring value to CVIA while at the same time working full time as a pharmacist. I hope he gets some stock options or something for his effort. But when everything is finally pulled together, we will find out what we have. It could be wallpaper, or it could be something pretty impressive. Half the fun to me is the anticipation. And with each bit of news I get, the more I believe something good will happen. Time will tell. Best wishes, Brad
