Luckily, it's not as bad as you might be suggesting (;
A lot of questions you raise have been answered
and i do have confidence in their approach to this CBD stuff.
What i referred to, is that most companies give more insight on their business as it is. For example, NRTI compared their figures of last Q to the same period a year earlier, which they know (and we all do) does not tell anything at this stage. To build investor confidence, they could give some more insight, for example: sales of Bikini Ready products have been growing x %. We are happy with this or we plan to improve this by doing x, y and z. For next Q we aim at X revenue. Etc.
It's what normal companies tell their shareholders cause DD is built on this kind of info. I think if they want to get out of this gambling arena they should be prepared to give that kind of info.
My statement was actually a reply to another post where a comparison with Apple was suggested to say we shareholders should be promoting these quality products more. I think it's comparing Apples to oranges. I haven't seen news bulletins about queues at Walgreens when new NRTI products were launched. Also oranges are more easily squeezed than apples. Most longs will agree by now (;
Product quality is only one part of the marketing mix. As you say, it's a tough market. NRTI needs focus. They need to be very clear about what they're doing, so they can build a crowd of long term investors. If selling stops, share price goes up, funding becomes less expensive, shareholders get even more confident...
