Actually that's exactly my point. Trying does nothing for Zsolt, succeeding is the only way to reap any benefits from his ownership in Zoltek. Whether he is wildly successful and is able to sell a significant portion of his shares in the open market or attracts a buyer for the entire company, trying does nothing. He has to do. And anybody who thinks that is not his ultimate goal is deluding themselves. Hell, ask Bill Tarasen. He'll tell what a driven and demanding guy Zsolt is. According to Bill it's driven people away from the company. Zsolt will put forth his best effort, whether he succeeds or not is yet to be seen. Dave

All I know is all things being equal, I would prefer to invest in a company where management has a large stake. I've seen too many cases where management has no stake in the business and could care less if the business succeeds or not. All they care about is making sure they have a nice parachute to soften the landing. Well, with 3.5 million shares riding on this one, I can see why Zolt is sending out e-mails on christmas eve and sundays. He may be a hard man to deal with, and he may rub some people the wrong way, but he damn well cares about what happens to this company. I agree that it would be very detrimental to the stock price if he started to unload significant amounts of his stock. But I also believe he is not stupid enough to not sell more if he knew this company was in serious danger of going into the scrap heap as some have suggested. And let's face it, none of us on this board, or any analyst will know that before he does.
