Thanks for your support. The reason for keeping this board is not just the freedom of speech.
First I believe that it is better for these negative people to post their frustrations here rather than in other places.
Second, as much as I disagree with some of the language used here, I understand that there is pain and I want these people to know that despite the fact that we could filter the messages, remove those that are unfavorable we care. I am not going to respond to derogatory comments. The nice thing in public companies that once a year you get to vote your opinion and if you can get a majority it matters.
The fact is that to our shareholder meetings come few loyal shareholders and thus far all our proxies had overwhelming favor votes well before I voted mine.
Shareholders who care should come to see their company, talk to its management and than decide what to do with their investment. We welcome shareholders who call in and come visit, we are open to listen as long as it is done in a professional way. We have never "brushed" and shareholder because his position is small. We take the time to explain to our shareholder as much as we can within the SEC disclosure limitations what we do and why.
I nay be naïve, but I do believe that people who visit our site may feel bad about some of the inappropriate postings, but they take it positively when they see that we respond, care and also that there are many of you who are for the long haul and support the company and its management.
We work very hard to make Soligen a great success. Some times it is discouraging to read some of the postings here. However I want to recognize you who support us and tell you explicitly that reading your support notes on this board make it worthwhile and make us proud in what we do and with whom we march.
On behalf of the Soligen family,
Yehoram
