At this point, yes, an ambitious wild guess!
But I do believe it has much much more merit. Berkshire being the proclaimed sole energy grid builder/rebuilder puts Berkshire in the "First Mover Position" for the "Cleaner Energy" sector.
First mover positions in business is like being in the "Pole" position in racing. Everyone wants that position, but only one can occupy it.
Berkshire claims they have been at it since 2006, and is completing that phase by 2030.
We are 8 or so years away. But remember, when Buffett states something, you bet he is further along then he reports. (Fact).
As far as the "C" class, if I'm not mistaken, your posting pal "Prudent Capitalist" backed up my post. The annual report supported my claim that Berkshire was repurchasing and retiring BRK.A & BRK.B stock.
And today BRK.B is working on backing up my claim that, this year BRK.B will go higher then $275.00 per share. (I even revised my prediction on top of that for the year.
(Imagine that, all this and I did not even need the assistance of a stock broker or financial advisors). I do wish you luck with your (financial) stock research.
Most of my knowledge came from books no longer in print. The authors were alive near the time frame when the markers were created or just after.
Their books and other resources are hard to come by today, but they wrote down everything that worked and did not work for them. In other words, "They did not die with their music still in them. They wanted to passed it on to individuals like me".
So when I said, it is a fact that Warren and Charlie said it at a shareholder meeting in the past, trust me they did!
(IMO), Wild Guess..., to be completed, it would take more value than "A" & "B"'s current shareholders value combined to complete BHE's ambitious plans. Hence..... BRK.C.
It is also clear the government and institutional investors are not up too the task! Warren said so in the "GOLD" 2020 Annual Report. Who else but the general public can make those types of funds available to Berkshire, but the average individual investor?
A Wild Guess, yes, but my "wild guess" is just as ambitious as Warren and Charlies "Clean Energy Plans" for BHE and Berkshire as a whole.

Interesting...
The "GOLD" Berkshire Hathaway INC. 2020 ANNUAL REPORT identified a few good known facts and possibly one under tone conversation.
1). (Page #6). 80,998 "A" shares repurchased ($24.7 billion). Remaining O/S Class A common is 640,586.
2). (Page # k-30). 31,126,600 "B" shares repurchased. Remaining S/O Class B common 1,336,348,609.
So Berkshire is indeed repurchasing and retiring A & B shares!
3). (Page # 11). Berkshire identifies "Ownership of Berkshire now resides in five large "Buckets"
Focusing on Bucket #5 (Page # 12).
"ALL of that said, Charlie and I would be less than human if we did feel a "Special Kinship" with our 5th bucket: the million-plus "individual investors who simply trust us to represent their interests, whatever the future may bring. They have joined us with no intent to leave, adopting a mindset similar to that held by "our original partners". Indeed, many investors from our partnership years, and/or their dependents, remain "substantial owners of Berkshire".
4). (Page # 14). "Let me tell you about one of (Berkshire Hathaway Energy) BHE's endeavors - its $18 billion commitment to rework and expand a substantial portion of the "outdated grid" that "NOW" transmits electricity "THROUGHOUT" the West. BHE began this project in 2006 and expects it to be completed by 2030 - yes, 2030.
Very few companies or governmental entities, however, were in a financial position to raise their hand after they tallied the projects costs. "BHE will be the leader in developing ever-cleaner energy". We are today searching for other projects of similar size to take on.
(BHE pays no dividend in it's common stock, but does so through increasing its per share value).
5). This leads to the "Under Tone Conversation" from Warren and Charlie from a few years ago, and maybe a hint in this shareholders annual report with regards to the current and continued BHE projects.
A few years ago a shareholder asked Warren & Charlie about a future issuance of a new "Class "C" Stock". Warren took the question and he replied; yes, me and Charlie have been considering that, and that could possibly happen sometime down the road.
In my opinion, we are going "BIGGER" than ever before! Warren and Charlie loves the "Individual Investors" contrary to other opinions ; )

Okay, lets see...
From your post;
"Stock brokered with Merrill for 30 years". (If you lost money, did your clients lose money to)?
"Many like myself do in fact ride things too much". (Does this mean you rode too long for your clients as well)?
"I'm finally admitting loss and moving on". (You have been doing that; "admitting loss for too long and that it has killed me") for months I might add. really???
So now that you made your last confession, will it be just your ghost hanging around and posting about how bad the stock is and how you kept loosing, or have you reincarnated already?
Lastly, "Your lectures are not appreciated". No lectures here. If you read this post and compare it to all of yours, mine only reverbs your posts back to you ; )
The only deviation I made was to help you "TRY NOT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN", because it would help other boards and its posters so they would not have to watch and listen to your very, very painful exits.
It appears you were not open to receiving any suggestion of help in someone trying to help you. Playing another penny stock or any stock for that matter, will be no remedy for your questionable stock strategies.... JMHO
Good luck to you though : )

This time (hopefully lesson learned), it could help to do some research on how to buy enough shares to play the ratio game, so you might end up with a sizeable position after a R/S like some of us here did with CLSI/OBCN : )
It's hard to watch and listen (read) someone else's pain when they get in over their heads because they did not research the many ways one may play the "PENNIES" and possibly make some money. (Very, very painful)!
Purchasing shares in the millions when the price is low, is what I did with CLSI/OBCN.
(I do not recommend any purchases or sale of any securities. It's not my thing because I'm not qualified for that).

Nice post CLSI.
A bit much from my prospective.
You are still side stepping the fact that President & COO Sam needs to personally address the shareholders.
I'm really not on board with the OTC b/s.
Don't take this the wrong way but, you really don't have a profitable choice but to hold your shares "long". Just like with the Wolfson's).
Remember, DR.DOKI and Sam do not own the company. They own company debt like us. They have more of a duty to protect us than themselves due to their majority stock share and management positions.
That is why the courts have taken RLBY in temp-receivership and DR.DOKI in time out!
This is an example where minority shareholders can sometimes be more important that the majority.
Again, none of us own the company, we all only hold access because of it's debts.
"Trying to draw the guard dog out to do its job, does not mean it will". (If you know it what I mean)?
Anyway, nothing to chew on here.
Have a great day : )

I just reviewed the new website.
It had President Sam's bio. It was just as I indicated, he claimed he is an Engineer and does have a background in website design. No new news there.
What I did notice and did not know is the he or DR.DOKI gave him /himself an additional promotion to COO (Chief Operating Officer). CLSI did state that OBCN had limited employees.
I'm not pro substitute for the real skills in order to do the job right the first time. To me this could mean paying for the same real estate twice or more for a job that should have been done right the first time. (But that is my management style).
In the end, this still does not let DR.DOKI off the hook for President and COO Sam's performance.
President and COO Sam claims a breadth of experience in business management, sale and marketing. I hope he is aware that in those ambitious claims, he created an expectation to the stakeholders and / or shareholders. The claims will soon be put to the test. I'm pulling for him and for us!
I for one hope he can produce, but he has set a very high barrier or burden for himself. After reading all of this new information, I am encouraged that he thinks big. But failing to produce could lead to a total loss of investor confidence. It appears we are almost there. This is where my claims for effective communications comes into play. And it should start with the shareholders first.
With everything I've read on the new website, (IMO), it still leaves the shareholders in the backroom. We need that direct communication from the President and COO Sam. This direct communication has nothing to do with the OTC, and would greatly be appreciated by us shareholders. At least the long term shareholders!
Again, communication has to be "JOB ONE". So speak directly to us. Again this has nothing to do with the OTC.
Sam if your reading this and you do decide to communicate to us, please know who your specific audience is, us shareholders. Direct your message in a persuasive way so your audience will believe in it and follow it like a map. Let them know they are the target of the story.
Make sure your message is respectful as if you were communicating to or with DR.DOKI or perspective investors. You need to personally Know who you are speaking to, and why you are speaking to them, and how you want them to receive the message, and how you want to leave them feeling about your communications.
So with this said, I wish President & COO Sam Mathew all the best. (Just don't forget us).

Sorry to hear that. But I understand your position.
I do believe you should forward your sediments to over to Preya over at OBOCON for President Sam's attention. Preya is OBOCON's investor relations department. (Suresh over at FTRS is useless).
If you cannot get any reply try to call the company or President Sam's cell phone. (I don't know what his number is). Maybe you can ask CLSI. He might know. He says he speaks with the President often.
Remember, a problem cannot be fixed if nobody knows about it, or does not inform others. Please let them know about it. I believe an investor not having confidence in a person in management, the company and certainly in the company stock is a major issue that needs to be addressed ASAP!
Please let them know about your issue(s) that is where it belongs.
Good luck to you if you try to hold on. Sometimes it takes great strength to hold for better times. I am not a broker. I don't advise buying, selling or holding stocks.
I personally have held this stock for a very long time, but I am not a loser! If it goes down completely, I'm going down with it, but not without a fight!

(IMO), If that is true, contact the President Sam and let him know it's time to address us shareholders about the status of the firm.
Additionally, if you do some research on this shell, you will find it is one of the best shells out there.
There is money to be made here. Company is not a turd. It's a gem. Just need some good management to do their jobs. That's all!
I encourage you to reach out to President Sam and ask him, "What's Up"?
Ask him to introduce himself and thank the shareholders for standing by the firm this past year and address the state of the company. That's all.

I've been reading your posts, but "you are singing to the choir".
The stock price has nothing to do with the performance of the stock price for crying out loud. (Be for real and get off that).
The price, and everyone should know this has to do with the managements performance and communication efforts.
Management does not have to wait for the OTC to say something for the company. The company can release a "Press Release" or releases for a few bucks and they also should have a great broker to move it up when something positive breaks.
Simple as that. Anything else is suspect. It appears you guys are flippers and probably don't have as much invested like us longs. But I don't know your real deal.
I'm not trapped here because I don't flip. I'm an investor. Two different angles. So in my opinion, good luck to you, but don't confuse the real issues here with dissatisfaction for not making a quick buck so you can move on, versus lack of management communications skills for the longs.
I am in this for the capital gains, but not for selling at a loss to lesson the tax blow. I'm in all the way to the moon or bust!
And don't forget, some MM's drag out a stock to create the impression the discouraging action that this "dog stock" cannot go anywhere, while someone is picking up the stock up on the cheap. (I'm sure you two are not like them, right?)

You bet. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
That is becoming the problem here.
All opinions from you, me and others.
What's missing is Sam stepping up to the microphone and communicating to the shareholders as requested.
I can respect your opinions but unless you are the President or a spokes person directly connected in a management capacity it's not fixing the issues.
As far as Sam acquiring the shell form DR.DOKI, no evidence of that transaction can be found.
From an investor friend to a friend, I would rethink the use of claiming DR.DOKI is involved as a "Silent Partner". I'm not sure you understand what you just implied. I would not go there in the business sense. (As a friend to another, I'm just trying to be helpful).
Stating that DR.DOKI is / has investors lined up is suspect. If DR.DOKI or Sam cannot move the company forward, starting with direct communications to the shareholder, how can they gain confidence with anyone?
I've already commented about the OTC. In business they are not the complete problem. Again, DR.DOKI and Sam have to possess the management knowhow, experience to move over, under, around any obstacles they may encounter at any time.
If they are experiencing any problems with the OTC, spend some of that R/S stock and jump over the OTC to the big boards. Otherwise why R/S our stock shares. Lets get something out of that stint.
Also, company revenues don't always move a stock price or position a firm in a more favorable position. It's the brains behind the operations as well as it's notable current and future sustainable demand for those products or services. (It's that simple).
Every business corporation knows it needs brains and most importantly, a CEO and President that have a pleasing personality or charisma. They can speak effectively and know how to motivate their audiences. In this case the current shareholders and future investors.
If DR.DOKI or Sam communicates to prospective investors like they do (don't) to the current shareholders, we are going nowhere like now.
Also let me remind you and you should already know this, if it was not for shareholders like you and me not selling our shares to the Wolfson's, there would not be an OBCN company today for DR.DOKI or Sam to be setting on or in.
The Wolfsons wanted to repurchase all of our shares and go private. That is a fact! So (IMO), DR.DOKI and Sam should be kissing the ground we walk on if you know what I mean!!
Sure, they could have found another shell, but not like this one mister. And yes there are flippers and pumpers here as well I'm sure. But DR.DOKI and President Sam needs to show a lot more respect to this company now in their control, and the most respect to the original shareholder who still are holding long.
That starts with communicating directly to us. Additionally, I would feel personally accosted (insulted) if DR.DOKI and Sam were holding back the company for their investor friends over us. (You know what I mean).
I've spoken with Suresh, he to has nothing to say about OBCN. He said he knew nothing and basically it is not his job function. He is out of the loop. (Herein lies the common problems. Nobody in management knows how to directly communicate to the shareholders).
I feel for poor Preya and respect her because she can communicate effectively. The problem with this is they don't really give her anything to communicate about. (Again, this is the problem with the current management).
As far as Sam's company before Athena joined, there was evidence of a real "OBOCON" company. Only a website with that name on it and claimed partners they do not acknowledge. (If I am wrong, let President Sam come out and put this strait. I only know what I've researched. I am person enough that stands to be corrected.
With respect, this means President Sam, not you CLSI.
So to suffice it to say, and don't take this personal, President Sam has to stand up, show up and learn to speak clearly into the microphone, and address us shareholders. I won't stop until he does or DR.DOKI removes him! We deserve much, much better at this point.
Thanks for everything CLSI, but now it is time for President Sam to speak up and do his job or DR.DOKI has to do his. It's as simple as that. Lets get past the OTC thing. They are no longer friends to start-ups.
GO-OBCN
GO-DR.DOKI
GO-PREYA
CLSI I have nothing against you what so ever.
I've seen nothing in writing that Sam Mathew owns anything here. If I'm not mistaken, Anthea is owned partly by OBCN.
Sam Mathew may have some ownership on virtual paper, but there has not been any factual evidence or verbal supportive evidence from OBCN other than DR.DOKI "appointed" him President. That's all there is!
I've checked on some of Sam virtual companies and partnerships with "global" partners, it keeps coming up empty.
Until I see some OTC corporate filings that Sam is owner of anything, let alone OBCN, I cannot believe anything about Sam Mathew or his ventures at this point. I want to, but I can't for now.
Like I stated at the beginning of this post, I don't have any issue with you and I thank you for any relayed information in the past.
You stated DR.DOKI has a medical practice. That has been verified. But with the planed-demic we are going thorough, I feel his practices were hit hard as well as client visitations. If this is the case (I believe so) like most medical professions, everyone is / was down considerably like the doctors and hospitals around here and other places.
This should have allowed DR.DOKI more than enough time to review his businesses and managements performances. DR.DOKI is directly responsible for Sam Mathew and his assignments.
So to speak directly or make any claims for DR.DOKI and Sam Mathew is not wise. To say Sam Mathew is not going anywhere, is out of line. Everybody is expendable at any time. Time will tell.
Additionally, trying to chastise anyone here that challenges Sam by changing the subject to an individuals investment strategy and understandings of risks of stock investing is rather small minded and personal. You don't really know a persons personal venting until they disclose it. Other than that it's just guessing or defending something you don't like.
I don't know about you, but I'm making money on OBCN. Again, my issue is not with the company, (IMO), just one individual that I believe is unqualified. As I indicated earlier, I believe he has a management and communication problem and that needs to be corrected.
With this said CLSI, unless you are running OBCN, (are you the President?) let the real "President" or any other management members speak for the company. Let them put their big-boy-pants on and speak directly to the shareholders for themselves.
CLSI If you really are OBCN management, say so and quit toying with the investors. This could be part of the reasons bashers or posters trash a stock. Management needs to communicate to shareholders in a respectable way that sets the communication tempo both ways. The President should not just take a call or email and act disrespectful in any way to the shareholder or whoever is contacting him.
(CLSI Would you want your friend or President friend to act in this manner? To represent or promote your company?) Of course not.
So again, at some point if Sam does not produce he has to be held accountable to the shareholders, not you. So I am asking you to stop representing management unless you are?
As far as "Sam is DR.DOKI's friend". We all have friends and most us would not hire them to run a lemon aid stand in 110 degree weather. Being a friend or family member does not qualify anyone for anything or everything other then somebody's friend and family member. You know this.
Some of my investigation for Sam Mathew identifies that he may have an Engineering (Science) back ground, not a management (Arts) background. I don't know for sure because he won't speak. And there is a world of difference between the two!
(IMO), None of his posted companies have shown any positive results. His "companies" partners do not even respond when emailed or called to confirm they ever even know him or who he is.
Additionally, CLSI, please do not try to change the narrative away from me challenging Sam's proven accomplishments and management skills. I know you think you know him, but do you really?
DR.DOKI is still in charge no matter what anyone thinks. He is the ultimate responsibility for Sam's performance and attitude towards the shareholders, as well as, moving the company forward to profitability.
So back at you. If you don't like or respect what other fellow shareholders opinions are towards the management, "you need to rethink your system. No one is holding anyone here", and if don't like shareholders holding management accountable don't pick an argument with other shareholders. Just don't respond for any reason.
I would rather have shareholders taking issue with management then trying to bash the stock or trying to pump and dump it.
One cannot fix something if no one is pointing it out. You know "don't tell me there is something wrong with with my sick child".
As far as Sam, I will remain calling him out until he fixes the communication issues or he is removed for doing nothing including communications.
DR.DOKI nor Sam Mathew directly own the company. They are like us and own a part of it. Shareholders have rights, and the majority shareholders have an "extra duty" to them as minority shareholders.
So if you are communicating directly with DR.DOKI or Sam Mathew let them know they need to address the shareholders directly. I do appreciate everything you have relayed but it's show time!
You already know about the OTC issues. Sam needs to move past them and move the company forward. With this new administration the OTC appears now to be an attack dog on start-ups. Big business appears to have their way with the SEC and will not protect the start-ups like they use to. During the pandemic they chose to shut down mom and pop restaurants over the conglomerates fast foods. Most won't return.
It's all good here.

Hey DR.DOKI and Suresh, here is a company that you should investigate for a possible acquisition. It's can be be found by typing in your browser,
Goldbacks.com.
They have "Patent Pending" products that are available in (5) US States and (2) foreign countries. The (5) US States have passed legal laws in those states for it's usage (and more coming aboard) as well as (2-3) more manufacturing facilities to produce them.
These products are the first of their kind in US and World history!
The products are real and maybe we can use some of that stock to acquire them? Not sure they are for sale but, that's what management, marketing and sales jobs are all about. (Leads).
At least check it out and get back to the shareholders.

Really, "He will be gone soon"?
That's not true.
If you read any of my past posts, nothing in them leads to that conclusion.
I have been around longer than most on this board. I'm sure that I will be around long after most are gone.
My background is in business as I've stated. Our country and it's capitalistic system is the best in the world. With by background and experiences, I know when someone is qualified to do a job or not.
Sam may be qualified at business (I don't personally know) but if he is and does not produce, to me, it's the same as not being qualified because co-workers and shareholders are entitled to "optimum utilization" from it's management, employees and deployment of capital. (That's a Fact).
Please don't confuse my disappointment with an individual versus the firm.
As a matter of fact, I want to be helpful in this situation.
So Sam, here is a private company that we might be able to acquire.
Type in Goldbacks.com into your browser and check out the website and their products. (IMO, Quite impressive). Employ some of our stock and try to acquire them.
This company has a true "Global Patent Pending" on all it's products. They currently have a customer base in (5) US States and (1-2) foreign countries, who have passed legislation to use the products legally.
The product is legal. and currently they are creating (2) more manufacturing facilities and expanding into many more states and countries. (This company's products are historic and the first of it's kind in the US and World).
This is what I'm talking about when it comes to the American ingenuity and our capitalistic markets!
I'm not saying the company is for sale, but hey, that's what business and marketing are all about. Leads!
This is a real business non-the-less with real products.
Check it out Sam and get back with us.

Look, I have no clue as to what your posting about?
If you have any questions about the stock price or the company information direct it to Preya at investor relations or call the company, and post the reply here on the board.
Asking me or anyone else here to answer any of your questions would be total speculation and I'm not into that. Just the facts.
I am very bullish on OBCN. Just not Sam. Sam's management situation has to be called out. I did, and now I am waiting to see if DR.DOKI makes any adjustments. Hopefully DR.DOKI will put the ball in "Sam The President's" court with a little help from his foot!
There could be something positive happening, but that backs my posts, we need the President to step forward and communicate the state of the company.
I'm more than sure Preya would forward his statement if he had one. So if you have any questions forward them to Preya at investor relations. I'm sure she will get back with you, she did with me.
No spinning wheels. One has to be behind the wheel first to spin them. Just waiting on the President Sam to get behind the wheel. Not sure he can see over the dash at this point.

Sam is the only person who can promote Sam. If individuals and shareholders think "Sam Sucks" it is because Sam allows them to run with that.
Sam can change that perception at anytime. He can either project himself as an individual who posses weakness or strength. It all depends on how Sam views himself and what his job description requires of him!
Either way, someone needs to review and evaluate his current position performance, requirements and personal and business qualifications to move this company forward.
Creating websites that suggest some kind of businesses and creating websites that actually reflect "Real" businesses are two different things.
So as it stands, Sam is good at creating global websites. So what? If this is what he is good at then DR.DOKI needs to move him to media department.
I believe everybody excels at something. One needs to be evaluated and then placed. Sometimes they need to be replaced from one job position to another job position to find the correct fit. (DR.DOKI please utilize FTRS for this process).
Sometimes there is no fit at all for them and they need to be let go for the good of the firm and shareholders. But from where I'm standing here, (IMO) Sam has no Presidential value what so ever. Management material, he is not.
In the end, here is a message for Sam. Prove to me that my opinions are wrong about everything I've posted. Show me that I'm wrong. It can only make him a better "President" or a "Real President". I challenge him! Prove me wrong.

Have no clue what you two are talking about?
My post about Sam's lack of management and communications skills have nothing to do with "not supporting the company and it's chances for future success".
The part about the websites is true for now, but that can change over time. I do believe someone is working on fulfilling them with active businesses.
My post was directed directly at this Sam individual, and my personal opinion about his business acumen, or lack of any at this point.
I believe in DR.DOKI's efforts in building a company from the ground up. I just believe he could find a better candidate to head the effort that's all.
I did forward some advise on how to get past complaining about the OTC. OBCN management does not need to rely on the OTC to get this off the ground.
DR.DOKI does not have to rely on that process to get to the NASDAQ or the NYSE. He reversed the number of shares O/S so we now have the opportunity to acquire one of those companies to reach that objective instead of taking the slow boat to China approach.
Again, don't confuse "woke up" or "you finally see" with identifying obstacles in management or trying to suggest a new business strategy direction.
I am still long in this stock and feel we can get to the bigger boards. We just need to do a better job vetting the job candidates. Most certainly the the position of "President" of the firm.
Remember, the President of BP Petroleum was out sailing when the "Pipeline" was severed in the gulf. When he was asked about what went on, he replied "I did not do it, It was not my job".
Management is responsible for every job below him or her, and they do have to answer to the shareholders, as well as, communicate to them directly for time to time.
So far Preya is the only employee who has made a difference. She is doing her job, but that is only happening after the shareholders get on the President (Sam??). She is in a tight spot because of Sam. That is not right.
If Sam is indeed the President, he needs to "Put His Big-Boy Pants On". Not everyone is qualified for the position, but it seems most want it. Must be the "EGO" thing not the "Ability" thing.
We have a great chance here to make this company a big-player in something on the NASDAQ or NYSE. We just need visibility and a communicated business plan or plans.
In the end here, If Sam is the man, he needs to lead follow or get the hell out of the way.

Well to be honest here, Sam maybe the President on paper but I doubt that he is management material by any means.
I believe Dr.Doki is CEO of OBCN from last communications. Sam claimed he was "just" the President for whatever that is worth for now.
Please don't confuse bashing with bad leadership, management and communication skills.
I still stand behind what I said in my last post about the OTC, NASDAQ, NYSE and Goldman Sachs. A good leaders business plan moves; over, under, around and through any obstacles that hinders their plans. (It's there job!)
No bashing here at all. I can make these claims because I am a established business person who has been involved in the creation and closed business deals on average of $100mm plus.
In my opinion, if Sam worked for me, I would have let him go quite sometime ago for not being able to produce in a timely manner.
I don't know about you, but Sam's business model and plans or lack of them, remains suspect. I can state this because I've checked on the authenticity of "some" of his plans, partnerships or ventures and they are just not there. (A website yes, an active business, no).
It appears that he is trying to project his skills as a "global" business mastermind but that lacks conviction.
If a vote for confidence in Sam were to occur today, I believe it would be a vote of "no confidence".
As a business leader Sam has to be able to lead and communicate effectively. Sam has not even made any attempt what so ever.
Again, no bashing just pointing out the weaknesses. That does not mean that I have given up all hope. If that were the case I would have sold out when Stan & Liz turned their backs on us.
CLSI, I don't have any issue with you or any other poster here. But I know when a leader is producing or not. A true leader needs no crutches or alibies. They just lay it out there for all to see and get past the issue because resistance is not the correct path. Resistance means you need to try it another way or something else. The OTC is not always the problem! (Remember Edison and the light bulb).
No bashing. If Sam is really doing the right thing, he needs to make a debut and speak directly to the shareholders.
Nuff said!

Any shareholders left here in OBCN?
Anybody have the latest count?
Need some PR's to keep this thing going.....
Seems like DR.DOKI put his star in the wrong galaxy with Sam.
Someone over there needs to get their act together and hire a real "President" and executive group. Dude appears to "NOT" be management material from where I am standing.
DR.DOKI needs to man the controls again. Use some of that stock to get some established individuals who can move this forward from day one.
This company does not need the OTC or PR's in order to do business and grow. One purchase of a Nasdaq or NYSE company automatically puts OBCN on main street. There really is no need or reason to be dicking around with the OTC.
We are flush with stock folks! DR. DOKI needs to get someone from the Goldman Sacks or like firm.
If the current management cannot get this company moving forward (without blaming the OTC) I believe the remaining shareholders should start pushing the management on a daily basis with emails, posts and calls to get their asses moving.

You can now.
The proof is in the long term chart and the recent stock price numbers reflect that ; )
"Imagine that. I don't even rely on fundamentals or a brokers advise."
I'm very confident that anyone setting around the brokers office did not see this coming. The brokers as well!
I did and said so : )
Remember, there is always more opportunity for one to learn something new, provided one is "Open Minded".

(IMO), After a second review of the "long term chart" and focusing on BRK.B's past head and shoulder formation, I believe BRK.B's end of year stock price could be near $300.00 to $425.00.
Time will tell ; )

Thanks Gov and CLSI. Yes, I've sent the questions to her this morning and am waiting a reply.
I will post communications if I get any. But who knows, maybe she will post on her own for all of us to read. Either way will be good so we can get some answers and updates.
(IMO), I feel we are moving ahead slow but sure : )

But I am one of the investors who has been making money in BRK.B all along.
Not one of the investors "Who Just Stated Making Money" in it.
But it's better to be late to the dance none the less.

Yes, I agree with you about the subsidiary part. I wonder if OBOCON at this point could be in a "Partnership or Joint Venture"?
Wonder if DFO could / will be an acquisition by OBOCON?
These questions should be directed to PREYA at OBOCON (investors relations) for answers.
On another question. Who will be doing the hiring for OBOCON?
Manpower, Robert Half or FTRS?
There has to be some type of connections....

Here is another DFO/OBOCON "DIRECT HIT"

The direct hit is the DFO PETROLEUM and OBOCON DIRECT GLOBAL REACH business connections.
OUR COMPANY "OBOCON DIRECT GLOBAL REACH" IS CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AT THE TOP and BOTTOM OF THE WEB-PAGE!
OBOCON DIRECT GLOBAL REACH's (OBCN) company symbol is plainly in sight!
Hope this is for real folks : )

Here is the DFO/OBOCON website:
https://www.dfo.aimstormsolutions.com/obocon-services/
This DFO/OBOCON website claims they can deliver all the same services that our OBOCON can deliver (or will be delivering) to their "MIDDLE EAST".
I know this site has been shown before, but now that our new company (OBCN) is moving forward, they had a chance to rewrite their mission statement but the company stayed with it.
To me that is a good sign : )
Still looking for more connections (DD).

I've just sent DFO PETROLEUM (OBOCON) an email asking if / is there a connection between the two company's. Hope to get a reply. If so I will post it ASAP.
In the past I have seen some internet connections identifying our company to theirs, so there maybe something here. But nothing concrete so far to say there is.
So I will keep meta-crawling along until I can snag something.

OBCN stated "Single point of contract using our "On-The-Ground Executive & Technical Professional Supported By Our In Country Legal And Accounting Alliances".
Anybody have any ideas as to how OBCN gets there without recruiting?
Manpower Staffing?
Robert Half Staffing?
It's understandable the companies they acquire and the new partnership(s) will have some of their own employees but as most know, when a company is acquired or partnership is formed, the new company transmutes by performing "out with the old-and in with the new". This task should help put the new company / partnership on a new path for success.

Nice find and post.

.India
.Middle East
.Western Africa
.Market Development

What is directly missing on the website is, a Human Resource Department. Wonder who will / is handling that aspect of the business. FTRS?
Is it possible OBOCON (OBCN) and FUTURIS (FTRS) will consolidate?
Additionally, OBCN is employing a "Greenfield Projects Method" to secure FDI and to control the entire enterprise from their Corporate Office in MD.
(Just thinking out loud)
(IMO), Stay tuned. Good things to come!

So let me try to understand your post.
You claim Dr.Doki is a crook.
So Dr. Doki (the crook) is loaning money (interest free) to himself (FTRS-the company) in order to scam himself (the other crook). Right?
I'm still not getting it.
How many crooks can there be in one individual crook?
Why would Dr. Doki ever want to scam himself?
Interesting...

Additionally, a loan on the books is good for the financials of the firm.
No interest on that loan is even better!
A ($-parenthesis) on the financial balance sheet is great for the company. It shows operations are growing and the company is moving forward on sound footings.
One needs to ask themselves "Where can I get a multimillion dollar, interest loan for my company"?
And all this with a pandemic going on!

Business 101.
It is best to borrow from yourself then to pay interest to another!
A very sound move by Dr. Doki.
If Dr. Doki were to get a loan, he would have had to secure it anyway.
No debenture here so far.
Dr. Doki, keep up the good work if you can read this!
