when there were companies that solely existed as sort of a venture capital like partners for other companies. Although the management would have to experienced and educated, there could be an option for anybody who has a treasure chest money.

There are probably millions of way to make money with MONEY! The big question is not really so much where and when is the money coming, but how to perserve or inflate the money. Well, the "P" company had a substantial amount of money coming into their accounts but unfortunately management did not remember why they are a public company. Lost the idea of "responsibility to increase shareholder value".

We are all hoping that edig management would rather make history than a modest income.

I AM SO GLAD THAT DM IS IN CONTROL OF LITIGATION AND I HOPE THAT THERE IS A BIG INCENTIVE FOR DM TO MAKE EDIG A VALUABLE COMPANY!
