One thing I noticed was the omission of Ransom Love and the director of marketing on the list of laid off employees. In the world of high finance I guess incompetence is an asset. Another omission was that they failed to mention that 4 months ago Caldera did a reverse stock split. For every four shares of stock the stock holders got one share. Before the split the stock was selling at around $.60/share. After the reverse split stock went to $2.20. Since then the stock has gone to $.73/share, but the loss is really $2.20 -$73 x 4 /share. But that's what happens when you turn your company over to graduates of the Enron School of Business Management.
