KZAP and all, Thanks for the feedback and thoughts. This isn't meant to open the stock up for bashing,but an open exchange of opinion good or bad about what the company is about. As a trader a lot of what goes on is immaterial as one looks for price swings to make money. As an investor it is imperative to quantify your DD and make it the best that you can. That gives you an edge for picking a good fundamentaly sound long term investment. The thread here is a good place to start sharing opinions and ideas. I always like to hear from others as to what they think so that when I evaluate my position I weigh the pros and cons and see if I am still comfortable with it. As far as investors on the internet, its just another medium for information exchange. I guess if IR is disturbed by what they read here, then they shouldn't read it. Maybe its just the newer way of doing things instead of sending a letter. This way its open for all (shareholders,IR, and the company) to read and share. Shareholders get info exchange, IR& the company get feedback about expectations and performance concerns. Shareholders should expect good sound information from the company that they have invested in, be it good or bad. No hype or fluff. Good news goes a long way in building investor confidence, but it must be of substance. Also investors lose their confidence when there is uncertainy and speculation. Maybe the company would entertain the idea of a CC when the merger is completed. This might enable everyone to get a lot of answers to their questions. Sorry for the long postings, but just wanted to put my thoughts down and see what kind of feedback happened. Dave
