Hi Steve, I think you would agree with me that a lot of folks around here would go broke if they could only manage to get a return on their investments of the order of 5 to 6 % per year(hemm)(at least that would have been the case during the last 10 years, say.) Using +-10% its reserves NOVL would not risk much. At any rate I think the risk of not doing it is greater Do I understand correctly? Is Bob saying that NOVL should rather get 5 to 6 % return on their money investing in other companies or BONDS rather than invest a small fraction of the shareholders money in themselves? If this is so then the next question is: how can you convince people to invest in this company? IMHO the situation is this: we have a good CEO with new plans, sharper focus and a new line of good products. We have to a) deliver the products b) convince the prospective buyers of our products that they should buy them (I think this is being done better than in the recent past..) c) The company needs to be financially viable and should try to (MUST) get the investment community behind its new project. Unfortunately, I agree with you that progress in this direction is frankly not very encouraging.. so far See ya elsewhere! Victor :-(
