All:
I would like to voice my concern about this message board and what it
is doing to hurt the image of the company and give both current and
potential investors a negative impression.
Yes, there are some of us (me included) who have lost significant
dollars on Soligen. Some of us are still holding the shares. I had
over 100,000 at one point. Investing in any stock is risky. The great
er the risk - the greater the reward. Didn't we all buy it because it
was cheap and it appeared to have great potential? I believe it still
does. Those investors with no patients who want to make a quick
buck shouldn't be investing in penny stocks anyway.
There's one thing we all have in common. We all want to see Soligen
suceed. If it does, those of us dedicated enough to stick with it
will profit. One of the most important things required for success is
a positive image. Some of you post these messages on this board
complaining and accusing Yehoram and mgt. of being incompetent,
uncaring about the stock price, etc..... Just stop and think for a
second. Does this kind of posting, and I might remind you that
every potential investor in the world can read this, add any value
to the situation. When you post these kind of negative message
its YOU who is making the situation worse and driving the stock price
even lower. Does this make sense. You're killing yourself. Think
about it. If you were considering investing in Soligen as a new
investor and you began to read all these message. Would you still
invest. I think not. Bottom line: These repeated negative postings
are undermining investors confidence and making the situation snowball.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Yehoram lets this occur. Now some of you
will probably begin to regurgitate all the BS about the first amendment
and how applying censorship to this board is a violation of someones
rights. Just stop. Soligen owns and controls this board. It's
intended purpose (in my opinion) was to give investors a way to
interface directly with the executives. I know of no other company
willing to do this. Can you send email to Bill Gates and get a response?
I propose doing away with this message board completely. It's doing
more harm than good to the company, management and investors like you and me
who are already in. I think a better idea would be to issue an
electronic newsletter monthly. This would continue to keep investors
updated on the latest news and serve to eliminate the negative hype
that is continuing to be posted for the whole world to see.
Soligen is a great company. I'm proud to be an investor. I believe
in the technology. I support Yehoram and the management. I'm
in for the long haul.
Just my opinion
