Aurus did an amazing thing today--

They showed that they are listening to their shareholders.

Over the past several days I, as well as many others here, have been touting the merits of a recurring cash dividend. I had preferred cash over stock mainly as evidence that the company was indeed producing at the levels it claimed. Being a young company, I wasn't as surprised at the stock dividend as the statement that ALL FUTURE DIVIDEND PAYMENTS WILL BE IN CASH.

It is unheard of for a company to broadcast it's future intentions in this manner & I don't believe they would have done this if they hadn't been reading this board.

As far as trusting the company, they certainly earned my respect by coming through on announcing this dividend when they said they would. And when you think about it, the payment was well-crafted & designed to do two things- reward shareholders & build long-term value.

Lastly, those who are bashing the stock dividend would have also criticized cash. I was invested in Patriot Scientific when they issued two .02 divis and the naysayers whined that they would have preferred a stock divi and seen the company use the proceeds to "build shareholder value". And PTSC is currently trading @ .64, down from over $1.20 when the 2nd divi was paid- so what good did that do?

As of today we were all given a 2 cent dividend, & all I want to say is THANK YOU MR. DOVGAN & AURUS.
