First RIGHT ACTION by a board
Eddy Lahens on Apr 1, 2009 02:30 PM

Both the CEO and CFO are to be congratulated and the Board be given an award 1) for taking an action which directly execute on the already stated corporate goal to cit cost and 2) acknowledging focus on executing the business at hand and 3) giving up on chasing the U.S. CTL market when it is a long reach for now. This company will go far by knitting to their cocoon which is big enough in China.
