The lawsuit will be wrapped up shortly (my guess is tossed out) ending the distraction factor, and the other factors appear to be getting significant attention. TechMaster, the fact that BG was out of town and court on the 15th could have caused the announcement on that day to be weak. Obviously he was away from his office and in court. In spite of this a timely announcement was made. I would like to think that they had such good news coming that the CEO would like to make a statement concerning the company's future, thus it may come at a later date. Personally , I was glad to see anything on the 15th considering the above. Also, I have to consider what's at state in the law suite and if BG loses what he has to pay with, money based on share value or shares them self. Either way it may personally benefit him for the share value to be low. I don't have the answer and would love to hear some feedback about this. Anyway, I'm starting to feel like I'm up to my ass in alligators with this stock and it's getting a little painful. -Robert

<< What would I recommend to gruder >> Start paying closer attention to the shareholders Do not open your mouth unless you can, and will back up what you say. Release information on a more regular basis. I don't buy the excuse that they are too busy, or too wrapped up in other things to worry about news releases. It doesn't take 5 minutes to simply let people know whats up. If nothing new has developed them simply tell us that, but communication is a key. Be more specific about their business plan. The last news release, although positive, certainly didn't get my adrenaline flowing. I felt it was very weak in actual content. They didn't really tell us a whole lot that we didn't already know. Knowing that they were well aware of the build up leading up to their " big announcement ", I was quite surprised it was so weak. Gruder needs to make a public statement concerning his last public statement about buying shares. I think it it sends a negative message to say you will be buying, but then you don't...with no explanation. Once he says he is going to buy, 2 things happen. People go out and buy right away becayse they figure if the " man " is buying, it must be a good thing, or they wait until he actually buys, assuming he knows the right point to enter. Either way, people are screwed. They were mislead into buying or they are still sitting and waiting...wondering....wondering.......again, it all boils down to communication. Gruder has lost the respect of alot of investors. He needs to gain that respect back. I personally, would respect him more if he came public and said he thinks the current price is too high and he thinks he could get in lower. Honesty is better then misleading people, and then leaving people to dangle in the wind with no communication. Essentially, I think Gruder needs to prove overall, he can take ALYD where it needs to be....and then he needs to just do it !
