Wow, SI thread fireworks just when we are poised and ready for a big move. I hope that the antics here don't turn off the shareholders who have hung on through the recent decline. That decline ended shortly after the company announced the Danielle law suit and the withdrawal of the Gold Coast Traders deal. Gold Coast Traders sold off their inventory before the deal closed in violation of the good business practices so it is no big loss. Danielle will be decided by the courts soon, Super City Gourmet is paid up now, and the Internet exposure is going to expand by an order of magnitude. All of us shareholders who have endured through the price slump and held our shares did so because we had the vision to see the potential of the Araldica story. This company is going to grow rapidly as a result of three efforts. Direct mailing to Italian sur-names offering a very unique product, Wines with family names and crests (very high response percentages to previous mailing). Continued acquisitions of specialty food product companies (not just Danielle, but other companies too). And the INTERNET with ads on all the major search engines. The product offering will expand to include hundreds of products and on-line ordering. Our vision will be greatly rewarded. There are a lot of new people on the thread since the stock bounced from a dime bid to back around twenty cents. Many have been offended by the seemingly hostile posting from the company webmaster who was intolerant of unsupported statements, of any dissent and who often expressed frustration at not being able to handle all the e-mail, answer questions relating to non-public matters and work 70+ hours a week. His recent Private Messages apparently got way out of line and he has stated that he was withdrawing from the thread. The Araldica management will deal with him and he may quit, get fired or just keep working but stay off the threads. I wish him the best result for him, for the company, and for us investors. As for the talk about promotions, new investors, e-mail to potential new shareholders, and new foreign investors...I hear there is a lot of truth among all the rumors. There are many irons in the fire and everything is happening very quickly. I expect very positive events to occur and the share price to begin to reflect the true potential of this company. I hope that the price increases reasonably as the story unfolds. I hope it doesn't spike up just to return to these levels. I makes sense to avoid placing market orders to buy or sell as the news breaks to avoid market maker abuses. Let's let the price move on the merits of the company and not the hype that sometimes accompanies promotional efforts. (No offense to those who are working hard to get the Araldica word out.) :) Slim
