<<Before going after Del's scalp, consider the overall market decline. Barring any news, would you expect INPR to hold or stay flat, when the market loses 140+ points in a single day, and closes the week below 9000?>> BULLS--T!! It burns my a-- when I hear lame excuses for sh--ty stock performance. Underperform in the greatest bull market in history, then proceed to blame a down market for further deterioration. I don't pretend to be an expert in middleware, but in following this thread over the last couple of years, it would seem that Del is executing a decent game plan. However, he is a failure so far at what I consider to be a CEO's primary objective: enhance shareholder value. It would seem here that he has an inability to execute. Example: he begins a process whereby he communicates on this thread, innovative, courageous, interesting..... Then as quickly as he appears, he is disappears again at a time when the thread would like to question him the most. His huge salary is obscene and an abomination. Pay yourself a ton of stock options and if you successfully turn a company around and build value FOR YOUR SHAREHOLDERS, then you have earned your millions. I suspect Del has been strongly advised to abandon this thread by legal councel. No matter, if he screws this up FOR SHAREHOLDERS, he knows damn well what will face him at that time.
