McLean Watson Capital is a company builder. We support Portfolio Companies but also question and prod entrepreneurs and managers to stretch their horizons and goals.
When a company is in its infancy and trying to find its legs, the issues are usually clear - filling the key roles, making sure the product/service works, cash, initial customers and main threats. As it matures, we adapt and adjust our focus.
We are not a substitute for management, but work with teams in whatever way helps the most. Among the areas we get involved in:
Serving on the Board of Directors and special committees.
Direct contact with key and target customers.
Reviewing acquisition, expansion and joint venture opportunities.
Networking for the company in relevant sectors.
Fundraising and liquidity strategies.

Discipline and experience have helped us become what we are today: Leading investors in a select group of North American and Asian companies with exceptional growth potential. The third component of our success is global vision, an informed, far-reaching outlook that guides and refines every decision we make.
The original Maclaine Watson (the old spelling) was a trading company, formed in 1820, and incorporated in 1920. Loudon McLean Owen, one of McLean Watson’s current Managing Partners, is a direct descendant of its founder, Gillean McLean. Based in Indonesia, and with offices throughout Asia, it was one of Asia’s largest trading companies. As with any substantial trading company, its activities spanned many industries. At different points in its history, the group traded raw commodities (cotton, coffee, tea, rubber, sugar, jute, kapok, spices, etc.), held a seat on the London Metal Exchange, and had extensive shipping holdings. The group represented the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank, the Mercantile Bank (Holland) and various insurance companies. While these various business interests have since been divested, we are proud that the drive, the energy and the vision remain with us today.
Loudon McLean Owen and John Eckert formed McLean Watson Capital in 1992.

LOL??
I could see them pursuing a merger with that UPhone company link you provided. It would be easy to do and the names is already there. They wouldn’t be a very large company either and only have 330 employees. Once the company name is revealed..pps will take off and create more value for them to merge or buy out.
At least it’s something.....but it’s not what we all are hoping for right now. As soon as the news came out at 8:51am this morning the pps jumped a little but didn’t last long. I think we seen a hockey stick rise initially and it’s going to correct itself into the range where confidence will keep it up. Confidence is what drives this stock no different than another other. If confidence falls....so will the pps.
I wish they would post something significant instead of these kinds of pictures. So far they don’t mean anything.
Yup. They are very easy to pick out. I understand there is wisdom in speaking reality....but blatant negativity from some random person about the stock they know nothing about is a clear sign to drive the pps lower. They’re psychology will backfire on them. I’ve been in since Jan 6th and bought in at .003 on my first order. We can all be excited that those who are only in it for the short term will sell their shares and push the price lower for the rest of us who know were long term and plan to be here a while. Building a solid multimillion or billion dollar company doesn’t happen overnight or even in months....it can take years sometimes for the billions to roll in, but it will come.
Don’t forget that markets must flow in cycles. Cycles produce life in a company. We have been taught in America that stocks should travel mostly in a linear fashion upwards. This actually leads to the death of a company. There are even cycles within the main cycle. It’s actually fractal in nature the more you study it. It may appear random but in all reality, it’s repeating just at different price points.
Couldn’t agree more.
You seem to be a shill yourself....you never reply to anyone’s questions or statements thinking you know it all. You did the same thing on other boards. Go find another board to waste your time on. The only purpose you are serving is yourself to drive the pps lower so you can buy in cheaper since you only discovered andi 2 days ago.
Most everyone invested in ANDI are long and won’t be letting their shares go. We’ll just buy more as the price goes lower and keep locking more and more up.
Someone who had the money should have flown out there to see if they could run into them or follow and see what booths they spend the most time at. I bet they are putting the phones into the hands of prospective companies and having them play with them and seeking out a contract for retail outlets as well as carriers. As we all know, they are a software company using a cell phone as a way to get out on the worldwide market.
Most likely the pictures are being taken with the new phones.
I agree! I think I found a few hidden clues in the pictures they posted on Twitter. I also think they used one of the new Utopya phones to take the pictures...maybe that’s the subliminal hint behind some of these pictures. They’re showing us the camera quality.
Keep buying 7777 oath keeper!!
I see a new OS being used that we haven’t seen before.
I think he simply looked at the stock price and seen it was low and had a few moments to spare.
