<<I have been told there is no new foundry, only new equipment>>

No new building, but it is a "new" foundry in the sense that they were creating a larger facility and adding state of the art equipment. I toured the present facility in October, along with signist and Ron Stange.

Benny, MOCVD stands for Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition
If you want to learn more about it, here are some links - some of which have pictures so you get a feel for the equipment. Not just the equipment, but a highly trained staff to work with it is needed.

If anyone calls IR and gets the equipment vendor and model number, we could research the purchase cost to gauge the initial investment here.

Hi Benny.

There are boards on SI that have members working together to find information that has made me money. Enough money to cover my real and paper losses on MRVC, almost.

As I was saying on the Fool board, I have never researched a company as deeply as I had MRVC- and I got whacked. Others on this board took horrible whacks. And... certain institutions lost so much that I just can't even imagine the magnitude... and me a techno.

Every day I don't sell is a decision. I am setting myself up to begin more active trading in this company.

<Let's remember, NOAM & CO> want to get rich just as we do.
In my neck of the woods, Noam and company are already rich. They cashed out for millions. Enough money to retire in a tropical setting and worry about nothing but whether to go sailing or fishing on a given day.

It used to make me feel good that Noam & Co. were frugal themselves, and ran a tight ship at MRVC, too. Now I would like to see Noam buy a jet and Shlomo buy New Access, or at least a huge honkin' black mercedes. To show me these wealthy men thought the company was money in the bank, to them. Or, they could but some MRVC stock. When that happens, I will be very excited.

We will survive? Of course. It's only paper. I only lost half a year's salary in the crash, and have worked my @ss off researching and trading AAPL, IBM, CIEN, KLAC, ASYT, and JBOH (short even- thanks, to Mr. Pink (!)) as well as schlocking web pages for clients at night to dig myself out. Then there were a few other nice windfalls, and my net worth is just a hair above that a year ago.

My MRVC shares that are dear to me like a smelly old hound dog. Maybe this hound's puppies will be champions; maybe they will be shit eating dogs, too. Haven't you noticed that the worse we feel, the more the stock goes up?

Have missed you. Quit posting on Yahoo!, unless you just want to be silly. It's a wasteland over there.

Respectfully,

WebD'
