Loop .. You guys are just odometer readers with average formulae. If the gas mileage does not fall within your little factory guideline, you jump to wild conclusions. It is an easy fix and easily explainable for reasonable people. Not for you odometer men, you have to go and mess with the engine regardless of your lack of experience and qualification.
What makes Marchma so unqualified to even suggest that he knows better than IDCC management what VISION (something of which he is totally devoid) and related strategy and tactics the company should employ to build shareholder value is that he can't even understand the compelling logic of your above statement. Just another sad sole who bitterly thinks he was unfairly cheated out of success rather than recognizing and accepting it has all been due to his limited capabilities as a "numbers man". BTW, I have no bias against "numbers men." The individual I hand picked to be our President and COO (at age 32) was formerly a CPA with a major accounting firm and without question one of the best businessmen I have ever known. He had forgotten more about management at his young age than Marchma will ever know. That is not much of a compliment to my former colleague since Mr. Marchma has repeatedly displayed over the last two years that his knowledge of how to successfully run a company is almost non-existent.
