I have just landed from a trip to the EV conference and read all of the posts since my last one.
Sometimes, its not bad to be handed your hat and eat some humble pie. It is a mistake to minimize ANY investors in our stock, and for that I apologize if anyone felt slighted. I maintain that public organizations are most interested in long-term believers, yet that should never negate the importance of the activity/eyeballs/interest brought to a stock, particularly in its early stages, by those who are day-traders.
I also recognize that being the only public figure who is communicating, this places an increased importance in how I measure my words, and how I time my posts. I accept that my grammar is in need of improvement and appreciate the PMs who have at times helped me edit or correct what I have written.
As this will be my last post prior to a self-imposed "quiet" zone leading up to the conclusion of the merger, this is all I am going to say:
Ever since February, you have all seen a greater concerted and unified effort to communicate with our investors in a manner which brings greater discipline and transparency to our messaging. It is in fact rather odd to have someone from the company on the board, yet we did this in part because of the personalization of some of the statements and the recognition that we could positively impact investor's view of our company.
With greater discipline and process, comes better performance and clarity. Our internal team did not start from scratch as is the luxury of a simple IPO. They had to take legacy of a past management and deal with the complications that comes from such hand-offs. We are grateful to the previous Salamon team for their collaboration, without which this process would not be coming to its rightful conclusion. Not everything went as smoothly as we wanted it to, yet its getting done. And with entire authority over the accounting and legal processes moving forward, we will endeavour to never miss a date again.
I am grateful for all of the comments on this board. Each has helped me understand something about the market, the players and even myself. I believe our investors will be very happy with us (moving forward) in the proactive manner in which we will share news. I believe our investors will be happy with the near future events that will occur once we have this merger behind us.
With gratitude to all of those who stayed aboard, knocked us when we deserved it, and will all hopefully soon reap the rewards of their patience,
Sass
