I didn't realize Mr. Ni has been onboard for 2 years with nothing to show for it. Is he being paid? What is he doing? Has anyone got any info on that? Maybe it's time to show him the door if he is on the payroll and hasn't made any inroads in China in all that time. An alliance that works sounds like an excellent idea to me. It looks to me like there are a lot of daytraders trying to sell 1/2 cent higher right now. I've done my buying and am ready for this volatile stock to move up again - let's see at least one contract before Christmas.
