Schweinemeister, I respect your opinion and all of the research that you've done regarding DEWM, Walmart, Kush Cakes, etc. You are a very well articulated person and I fully understand where you're coming from.
When I first purchased my shares in DEWM, I did so because I believed in the mission of Marco Moran. As with virtually all companies of this size, there are going to be unexpected obstacles that appear to put a damper on moving forward. It's inevitable with penny or sub-penny stocks.
Since this is something that I was fully aware of when I entered DEWM, I made sure to fully investigate the company prior to purchasing my first share. I had visions of this becoming a major player in its field, and I still do. When the PPS exceeded .03, I knew that it would retreat back to much more sustainable levels. You can't blame Marco for the extreme breakout DEWM saw in February, nor can you blame him for the current price the stock stands at. It's not his job to worry about the price of the stock on a daily basis. His job is to do everything possible to see that in the long term his company becomes successful.
With that in mind, I always intended to hold onto my shares for the long term. When you mention that I could have purchased a Rhode Island mansion, unfortunately things don't work out that way in the stock market. If I were playing blackjack in Vegas and I was up by a set amount, all I would have to do would be to cash in my chips and that would be it. Yes, I would have to pay taxes on my winnings, but it would be based on a known amount. With stocks it's a little different. First, the likelihood of anyone selling at the top is near zero, as only a few get to do that. Next, when selling a large amount of shares, since the stock in question has only had a few days of heavy trading, it would have been impossible for me to have sold at anywhere near the high. My sales would have lowered the price dramatically, and I wouldn't have received anywhere near the peak price of .034. Add to the equation the fact that the IRS taxes short-term capital gains as regular income and that NYS has the highest short-term capital gains tax in the country. By the time all was said and done, my actual gains would have been less than 50% of my profits. I don't like the government enough to give them that kind of money.
Regardless of the above, I still would not have sold my shares when DEWM hit .034. The reason is because I believe in what Marco Moran is doing to make this a great company in the long term. While I don't have specifics, I know enough about the man to realize that he's not going to let his company fail. No one who posts on here has specific information as to what is currently taking place. If they did, it would be considered insider information, which is illegal. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that as CEO, Marco has been working tirelessly on his dream, and I have faith that his dream will come true. As far as his requesting that I no longer send him emails, I believe the reason for this is because he's trying to concentrate on the business and the emails that I inundated him with became too much. Also, in one his PR's from February, he specifically stated that all subsequent forms of communication would be through PR's and not emails. So basically, it was my fault for pestering him.
Like you and everyone else, I'm waiting in anticipation for the financials and for news to be released. I have to believe that there's a reason for the delay. An individual with as much passion for success as Marco Moran doesn't suddenly disappear, never to be heard from again. I have no doubt that there are a plethora of things taking place behind the scenes that will make what we saw in February pale by comparison. LSMP may have been the product that started it all, but in the end I believe there will be an endless number of new ones that will be of much more importance.
The bottom line is that I have more faith in DEWM than when I first purchased it back in January. I'm expecting great things to happen in the future and prefer to look at the positive over the negative. Reading the following poem "If," by Rudyard Kipling helps me get through the day.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man my son!
