Mags,
When did you ever SAY that you had the sales representative situation calculated almost exactly? And, if you had, why have you so consistently maintaineded that A&P expenses could be moderated? In FACT, you have always SAID the exact opposite--that IF the company moderated A&P expenses, everything would be just fine.
Also, when did you ever SAY that the signing of celebrity #4 was out of PARL's hands? In fact, you said repeatedly that "we" must sign Madonna? Who is "we?"
You flatter yourself--as always--when you refer to my "hatred" of you. I merely disdain people who want it both ways. You want to be bullish on PARL when you SAY the management is incompetent and corrupt. NO ONE worked harder to diminish the company when its share were trading for less than one dollar per share than you did.
Apparently, you are totally behind PARL's inititiatives to sign new celebrities and promote them. But you wax and wane vis-a-vis the cost of doing so. My NEW concern is that the cost is prohibitive and that we will not see significant improvements in profits until FY 2011 at the earliest. Why don't you review for us your most recent predictions on profits per share in the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years? Any profits above $.20 per share will have to come from sales well in excess of $165 million per year.
