I am very glad to see you Skip back at the helm of the CCSI board ship. As we have stated before, patience has been a must with CCSI. You can debate whether or not negotiations with a worldwide distributor should have been started prior to FDA approval. That would have probably resulted in a deal earlier. However, I support the efforts and decisions that mgmt has made. The timing may not have been what we wanted, but IMHO the results will be better than we have expected. I'm not sure we will have a final deal by New Orleans, but it doesn't really matter. The shorts knew of Dreyfus' funds changes ahead of time and took good advantage. Now its our turn. For those of us who have supported CCSI for a long while, our patience will soon be rewarded I believe. IMHO, if there was ever a time in the history of the company to be buying the stock of CCSI, it is now. There is no issue with manufacturing I think, and Lehman (Fred Frank) has done an excellent job in taking over negotiations and they will earn a big chunk of $ if, as I have hopefully correctly predicted based on other similar deals, a distributor gives us a good initial payment. The addition of H & K last Friday is excellent news for those that understand that this must mean their high-priced help will soon be used. The stock may fluctuate over the next few days, but any lower price will only be a STRONG buy signal. The shorts are starting a serious effort to cover and I do not think it will be pretty. Longs, enjoy the next 3-4 weeks. Then we can focus on the other applications which the company has been talking about. (Shorts, for a preview of what I humbly believe is soon to occur, see the KTEL chart.)
