Andy Grove I hope you read this Fellow Beaver: Please don't take Shiva from its shareholders for less than a fair trade of 5 sh of Shiva for 1 sh of Intel. If you proceed with this $6 buyout a lot of little guys will get hurt. You know by worker productivity and price to book ratio Shiva is worth at least a 5 for one trade. Try to remember the days of Respice Adspice Prospice. You have had great success since then, but for most of us "pluggers" not much has changed. Mark A. Forte - CCNY class of 62

What course of action should a CEO take when he relizes that his business plan is not working? 9 Months ago I believe that Zucco had a business plan he believed could work. I believe that the sales report for this last Q will show that this plan has failed. I see no dishonesty in believing that you could win, and then failing. In an earlier post I made a comment about the CEO only being positive. I did not mean be positive in a dishonest way, just that the CEO pulpit is not the place to air all of your doubts. Put a positive spin on your plans and go for it. Shiva, a company that was too succesful too fast. In the entertainment business this is known as a one hit wonder. Paul
