Herman, off base just like NVEI has been numerous times?? (lol, kidding). But the point is, after a string of failed attempts at producing a chip, one cannot help but put the onus of responsibility on the shoulders of NVEI now to 'prove' they are for real.
Remember the boy who 'cried wolf'? Eventually when the wolf really did attack, people still didn’t believe him because of his track record of lies! This is now the same for NVEI, they must prove they are the real thing. Investors have been patient for years with nothing reciprocated to them. All the while Ray and Brad continue to reward themselves with a generous salary and bonuses. Being the CEO of a publicly traded company is not simply a free ticket to writing yourself a salary, but it involves sincere responsibility to increase shareholder value (without whom they could never have paid themselves the salary in the first place). If a person invests in this stock on the premises that they are producing a chip that could generate substantial revenue and that never occurs even YEARS after the projected deadline, how can you say they should not be disgruntled! That’s why every dissatisfied shareholder who has been mislead into investing in this company has ever right to voice their concerns.
