I sold what I sold over a year ago when the company announced they were going to have a lousy quarter. It had nothing to do with VOD, but with the value of their core real time business. You will recall that the company actually reported a record quarter and failed to correct that misinformation. I sold immediately and had plenty of chance and did buy back later. However, after nearly 3 months went by without that warning being corrected a young, unsophisticated member of my family, against my advice, sold at 1 5/16. Perhaps you now have a better perspective of my view of all companies duties to all their owners, even small ones. The main reason I did not buy back the entire position was that there was more than one instance with Harris Computer, which I also owned, where Corky promised something and did not come close to delivering. This was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back for me as far as his credibility was concerned. I might also add ONCO to the list, but that is probably still an open question. By the way, Arthur is right about maintaining decorum. A complaint to the "webmistress" would get half the posters on YAHOO thrown off if they were over here.
