Brian H: I have two other of his papers, but they are all marked up with written notes of mine. It was hard enough scanning the Skybridge piece onto the SI board. As for Valueman's comments: Bernard Schwartz should get a copy, not just the board here. BS has to be aware of all the issues in investor minds, from bad Loral investor relations staffing to the need for aggressive marketing people (a valid point made in the Skybridge piece on DBS' beginnings) and strong responses to yellow journalism and radio shock jocks. Often perception has a lot to do with a stock's price. Loral is getting its plan on track elsewise. But great technology does a lot better when it's not just on the shelf. Good marketing and friendly staffing is what Loral needs to move it. Loral has nothing to fear from the competion on anything else. The stock will find its right place much higher than current. There's no need for the move from here to there to be like a grinding wheel moving on sand, however. That's what Bernard Schwartz has to fix. Here's to success for all those launches that Loral has scheduled for the rest of the year.
