Hard to beat IHUB as a contrarian indicator, right? ROK up $3 today and 350% for last 5 years plus a nice dividend, and this board has just two of us talking.

What would you suggest to get more interest here? Split ROK 10,000 times? Sponsor a race car? Sprinkle the word "ten bagger" into press releases. Hint that ROK's 22 year old technology chief Trixie had been in porn movies?

Maybe ditch auditor Deloitte & Touche for "Two Guys in Bell City."
