I have been concerned all along about the lack tolerance for those that want to express an opposing view on this thread. I am especially angered by the hypsters and you know who you are. It is very obvious the mood of this thread has changed, there is a definant lack of confidence in believeing ALYD can do what they need to do in time, and the $2.00/share number is all but gone from the minds of most. I see Techmaster has even stopped rolling up his loose change, what better indicator can you get than that. My comment is I think we all ought to call or write Gruder, it may seem like a ridiculous request, but I do feel he has really screwed up, done some stupid things that we all know about and I need not go into them, but needless to say he has been doing them for a long time. Just when you think its over he does something again. Just for the record I DO NOT agree that he had to announce the PP prior to earnings, he concievably could have waited, unless he knew it wouldn't matter anyway because the earnings were a disappointment, not for the average company mind you, but everyone that has invested in this stock expected more by now, especially with those big name contracts,and even more so with their capability do run more code thru the door. Bottom line is they are still having problems getting code flow, or they would be doing 30M by now, lets face it! Notwithstanding, Gruder has let us all down, he is taking care of his employees and not his shareholders, and ANYONE with any business savvy knows you have to do both to be sucessful as a CEO. So lets let him know he need to do a better job, and let him know now. What do you think? As a sideline Jeff M., I've always respected you, you can't help like a guy who stays positive thru it all, but I remember you said you have some options expiring soon I think, and when Gruder picks your pocket this time, you will be amazed how that affects your attitude.
