I care Dennis. I guess I've just been lazy, letting you do all the work. You are articulating my feelings very well. It looks like the only way to recoup my investment with CREAF is to daytrade it from 10-16. What a pity. Doug is probably right, the only thing that will drive this stock past $18 is a buyout. Sim's own people don't respect him, I haven't heard one piece of positive press come out of Singapore in over a year. I think Sim's vision was good but he was unable to execute. CREAF needs a CEO with hair on his balls, someone with a kick-ass-and-take-no-prisoners kind of vision. Sim's fantasies of being the Bill Gates of Multimedia are just that, fantasy. He has made fools of us. If Sim was Japanese he would have done the honorable thing and killed himself months ago. Better?

Dennis: I think people have shown their reaction by getting out of the stock. I got out last summer when they pre-announced, because revenues were falling and because there were so many other places to put my money. However, I have continued to pay attention to Creative, looking for signs of a real turn-around. Creative could have easily played in the Internet space, like Real Networks, for example. Unfortunately, they think all they can do is hardware, even though they know what a cut-throat, commodity business it is. With this kind of mentality, this company will never hit the kind of growth or profit rates today's investors and traders are looking for.
