Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY)

[macnqueso]

Some believe ANY's approach is superior in its simplexity to CITRIX... I am one of them...


What did the humble beginnings of CITRIX look like...


1989-1990:

Initiated product sales. 18 employees working out of Coral Springs, FL... In two rounds of financing secured 6 million dollars for operations...



1991-1992:

Recruited 650 resellers. 1991 net revenue of $300,000 (gross sales-cost of goods/services sold)... secured third round of financing for 5 million dollars...



1993 - net revenue of $10 million...

Of course, these early years witnessed CITRIX developing key strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Novell... but those partnerships didn't drive significant net revenues until 1993... the fifth year following initiation of monetization...


If you think the shorts, traders, MM's and other market manipulators had a field day with those first 4 years you would be dead wrong... they absolutely did not... they didn't because CITRIX remained private until 12/08/1995... the stock opened at $15 and closed at $30 on its first day of trading... Retail investors, for better or worse, could not take a position in CITRIX during its early monetization phase... and manipulators could not manipulate it's stock...

ANY is a truly unique opportunity... For those of you who think that somehow ANY is behind in its development take a look at the CITRIX timeline as provided by the company in the link below...

Take a deep breath and recognize that CITRIX today records something in the order of 3 billion annually in revenue and sports a market cap of nearly 10 billion... and ask yourself what does this portend for ANY, if in fact, its technology and IP are actually better than CITRIX???

I find some retail investors to be clueless regarding the process of early monetization... grossly unrealistic in terms of the timeline, challenges and such of the process... sell if you must... buy or hold if you will... the current stock price movement is utterly insignificant for long horizon investors... the underlying material reality is stronger than ever... the valuation of the company by the market is insanely low... currently ANY is valued at little more than 2x conservatively projected 2015 revenue... how's that for fundamentals which indicate grossly oversold... jmo... glta...
