President and Chief Executive Officer
HVOLT Inc.

“Many years ago PSI Energy had to write off $1.7 billion on a nuclear plant. They discontinued their dividend for a while. When their share price was plummeting, I mortgaged everything and bought more shares. I had faith it was going to come back. It turned out this was a very wise thing to do, because my investment in Cinergy has absolutely paid off. Too many people panicked and fled; I call those people hopscotchers. They were there only for the short term.”
