I'm wondering what effect the turmoil and devaluation of the Ruble is having on the ECD joint venture in Russia? What is the world record for the number of years a company has survived without earnings? Is ECD close to the record? Hanging by a thread, Baruch.

Looks like the only time we run with the market is when it is headed down. Actually, that seems to be only direction this stock goes period.

Del, I fully appreciate your disappointment and frustration. I know the feeling. I have been a long term accumulator of ECD and have seen a lot of up's and disappointing down's, while anticipating our ship to come in. I thought by now that this should have occurred. All I can say is that while I have been disappointed on the one hand, I can see the market potential for all of our technologies growing bigger. I believe these are the facts as opposed to some emotional opinion. There is a quote from Charles Kettering, that I talked about in an earlier post that is appropriate at this time: "Solutions the the most difficult problems, once found, are always simple". We have surely been faced with and continue to work on some very difficult problems. Each persons patience is being tested. There are those of us that believe that ECD will find the solutions they have been working towards, those that don't, and everyone else in between. There is room for all of us. I like the balance in posts that this thread provides. It helps everyone maintain a proper perspective. Regards.
