RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: no smoke without a fire First of all no one appointed you as financial advisor on this board and especially my financial advisor, if you want to be a docile and sheepish investor all power to you, but asking us to heed to your values is a bit too much. Because if there were a few more aggressive investors that stood up for their rights, may be we would have more transparency from the companies like CMK and people like Bates. It's not the first time that Bates and company have misled the investors of CMK and if you have a short and selective memory, too bad. Falling for the buck at any cost is hardly a virtue worth mentioning. So may be the best course of action for you is to carry on in silence and leave the rest alone.
