Castle Brands Board (ROX)

[FUNMAN]

Insider and institutional ownership of ROX's competition.

This information is incomplete. A little help expanding it would be appreciated if you also find it interesting.

Of note, ROX investors find Frost et al making sure ROX has only one share class is very appealing. That's not the norm elsewhere in the industry. ROX has a very simple share structure by comparison.

Still, the very common thread between ROX and the rest is substantial insider ownership. My feeling on that is insiders want to grow and need money to do so, while knowing how profitable the business can be.

Collectively on this board it seems we agree ROX is being built up to be sold. We think they are looking for a big payday.

The competition pays dividends. In the event ROX becomes cash flow positive and GAAP profitable some of the insiders here would also do quite well with quarterly paydays. I'm just saying.

So scan the following and let everyone know what you think.
