No kidding. Here is what I envision at the SHM during introductions:
``Patriot shareholders, ladies and gentlemen,
Allow me to introduce to you a man who in one year at the helm has increased shareholder value by a factor of 10; a man who has paid unprecedented dividends of .06 per share to shareholders in the last month; a man who has negotiated deals to curtail the repressive financing schemes of the past; a man who has aligned the company so as to actually market our product (an unrivalled patent portfolio); a man who has hundreds of infringers on edge and coming to the bargaining table; man who has simply turned your company around 180 degrees in his first year on the job. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you David Pohl.``
And then a standing ovation ensues with confetti and balloons dropping from the rafters, and Rash running to the podium to hoist DP onto his shoulders and carry him around the room to the screaming cheers of the jubilant faithful !!! Then DP says golf at LaCosta is on Patriot in the afternoon and, while riding up the 3rd fairway, his cell rings and its TT on the other end saying the J3 have caved. He then sends the beer cart gals around to the rest of us with free Heine`s and the good news.
That is more like what should happen.
Best, and remember to be a hero to somebody today. MW
