Excel, (and other mossies) My perspective - having been on board NVI for only two years - does not allow me to "feel" the pain and discomfort you and other mossies feel as we wind our way hopefully homeward. Of course I'm aware of it intellectually and "know" that you and others have been buffeted about rather severely in prior years,seeing large investments dwindle precariously downward. It is no surprise, therefore, that you take current management to task for the reasons you've set forth. All of this is by way of saying that my perspective, not having experienced such slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that you and other co-investors have, allows for a differing
take on the current scene, one which, at first glance, might seem almost innocent and naive, but so be it: We are less han one month away from the sh meeting, at which time, I strongly suspect that many of your susses, as well as those of others, will be either proved or set by the wayside. The gnashing of teeth, tearing out of hair (and I have precious little with which I can afford to do that; I've torn much of it out over other of life's stresses), and wearing of hair shirts are grim enough, but to do it with possible resolution of the myriad mysteries which confound us - financing, cost and time of FPGA's and ASIC's, to name but two - less than 4 weeks away, it is indeed time for a draught of your favorite (spiked) Koolaid! None of us can come with any definitive answer, of this it must be painfully obvious by now. Nothing that any of us can say could possibly be believed, for obvious reasons, to be THE answer to any of the questions filling our postings.
I've become further enlightened as I've read many of them and am delighted that we have such an
intelligent, informed, diversified, and sharing group of posters here on our board, and I thank them for enlightening me about many of the finer points re the technology and the financial aspects of the proceedings. I just don't want to read about anyone
suffering ill effects from the high stress that some reveal in their posts! The information is coming,
people, and we can only hope that it's what we've been waiting for. This will prove to be an important nexus in NVI's life, one where the s/h's and the mgmt will confront each other and then leave, after it's over, either in trust...or not. I wish I could be there, but finances dictate otherwise. I wish us all the best of good luck.
