I think we need to see new and different art pushed through the existing channels, though I had hoped it would be the works of the three artists recently signed and subsequently dismissed. What these guys... login to read the rest view available tags
12	member 4/26/02 1:34AM New Collection/Recent Pricing
Hi, Round -- Go figure. I saw the new collection as more of a short signal than anything else. They're trying to flog fifteen year-old stuff that was probably left with a bunch of old aunts view available tags

My eyes glazd over after all of the feel good, art and light stuff as well. Bottom line, the December quarter was poor. Sales declined by 21%. Gross profits, after various and sundry write-downs to inventory... login to read the rest view available tags

Hi, Round -- Any comments on MDA's preliminary results for Q1? I kind of lost it after getting to the part about "delivering our message of hope, peace and light to millions around the world". Yours, Bowd view available tags

Lack of communication with the public, weak gallery sales, and severed relations with promising artists have created real uncertainty about the future...particularly among gallery owners. This is a risky investment. My position was never large, view available tags

Find below the average annual P/E, P/Sales, P/Book and Net Income margin for this company (which went public in 1993). This is not a "never do good" company. The founder's greed is a problem, but... login to read the rest view available tags
4	member 3/09/02 12:22PM Perpertually undervalued
