: 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
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE TO SOLIGEN MANAGEMENT TO ADDRESS
THIS VERY ISSUE DURING THE NEXT BOARD OF
DIRECTORS MEETING AND INITIATE A VOTE TO ELIMINATE
THIS MESSAGE BOARD. I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO
SUBSCRIBE TO A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER ISSUED BY
SOLIGEN AS AN ALTERNATE SOURCE OF INFORMATION
ON THE COMPANIES PROGRESS.
FOR THE STOCK PRICE TO GO UP WE HAVE TO CREATE
A STRONG DEMAND FOR IT. THESE VERY PUBLIC NEGATIVE POSTINGS
DO NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS. ITS ECONOMICS 101.
I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW MANY OF THE
PEOPLE WHO POST THESE INSULTING AND HUMILIATING
MESSAGES ACTUALLY CARE ENOUGH TO ATTEND A STOCKHOLDERS
MEETING. I'D WAGER NONE!!!!!
FOR THOSE ANGRY ABOUT LOSING THEIR MONEY, TAKE THE TIME
TO RE-EDUCATE YOURSELFS ON THE RISKS INVOLVED
IN BUYING SECURITIES. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW
WHOM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING YOUR MONEY, FIND
THE NEAREST MIRROR AND STAND IN FRONT OF IT. YOU'RE
SIMPLY LIVING IN A STATE OF DENIAL. STOP
BLAMING YEHORAM AND CO. FOR YOUR ACTIONS. NO
ONE HAS EVER HELD A GUN TO MY HEAD AND FORCED ME
TO ISSUE A BUY ORDER OR ANY SECURITY. TAKE WHATS
LEFT OF YOUR MONEY AND SEE A THEARAPIST. MAYBE
HE/SHE CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO BEGIN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. THIS IS A RISKY BUSINESS.
LEARN TO ACCEPT IT OR GET OUT.
GOOD LUCK SOLIGEN.................I'M IN TOO!
