That is, when he schedules one. Rumor had it that it was tentatively scheduled for June 17th. But alas, no confirmation, unlike the one that was supposed to happen May 21st. Of course, if it is June, Mr. Mike Saranga is scheduled to be out of the country during the later half of the month. How convienent. (He's still under SEC investigation as well as a co-defendant in the ongoing lawsuit against him and Informix. ) When will you break even? That all depends on your strike price and how patient you want to be. Of course, if you really own a lot of shares, you should group together with other shareholders. I'm talking about those who have 10,000 shares or more. Get enough together, and you might get Bob's attention. You need marketing. But hey. They just hired someone who started her job with a vacation. Now, granted it may have been planned earlier, but, ya know, for someone in marketing, they should realize that appearances count. But hey, what do I know. When Bobby Boy does call the shareholders meeting, I'll be there. -Mikey -- #include <std_disclaimer.h> /* Mike Segel (MS385) */ #include <No_Spam.h> #ifdef OFFENDED_BY_CONTENT The author takes no responsibility for this post.
