This company is going places part 2
The Sunworks ship has left the harbour and is well on its way, doing pretty well as a business. That much, I think, has been established. To contribute a little clarity to the situation, I would like to try and describe the muddy waters called Wallstreet it is sailing in. In danger of being called ‘shallow’, I do like to keep it simple. It just works better that way and otherwise I probably wouldn’t understand my own thinking anymore. Which would not be good.
There are basically three parties involved on Wallstreet.
The first party is the company, in our case Sunworks represented by its captain Jim Nelson, presenting its case to you the investor. Hoping you will climb aboard.
The second party is the investor, that’s you. You are trying to decide who the hell captain Nelson is and what his ship looks like.This is hard for you as I hope to establish a little later on in this text. You need help.
The third party is a larger party. It contains all the people offering opinions, information and non-information to you the investor. It’s a bit shady group and consists of many different characters. Some call it the fifth column, but that would deny the diverse nature of the group. As it is the third party, let’s call it the third column.
For now I would like to talk a little bit more about the most important party of the three, the investor. You.
As I said before, you have a difficult task. To make things even more difficult, there is one important element which usually is not mentioned. It has everything to do do with you being a human being. I call it the G-factor. As a human being you are by nature Gullible. Especially in situations that are new to you. That’s not a insult but just a well established observation. When you have no information or not enough information or, even worse, wrong information, you will be easy prey. The Gullibility-factor plays a important role on Wallstreet. In fact, you could call it Wallstreets G-spot. For you, as investor, this is important to know. So, when I yell ‘SHARK’, it’s important to not run away immediately. You should first ask yourself: Can this be? Where did this information come from? Is it credible? And if it is a possibility, did you know there are over 500 types of sharks swimming around. The vast majority is definately not lethal. On top of that, the amount of shark attacks are a lot lower then you might think. I looked it up in Wikipedia. Relying on a single source from the third column is never a good idea.
In this framework I will now come to a question: Do I think captain Nelson is deceiving everybody? Is he a shark about to attack? Well, no upto now I don’t think so. I think he wants to operate his ship for a lot longer, and he just started. I also think, as a human being mr Nelson should be and will be kept honest. We all need help in this. If you decide to become a shareholder, you do have some tools for that. As a matter of fact, if you do have real questions about this, you should probably ask him. He himself will most likely be a bit busy, but he does have a handy group of people working for him. It’s called investor relations. Call them. That would be revealing. They are also obligated to not lie to you. That would be very detrimental to the ship once it comes out. Don’t forget to tell everybody your findings. As fine point I should also mention that the people from the third column are not bound by those rules.
My last remark for now is about the phrase ‘the market is always right’… Taking into consideration the three parties the market consist of, I think this is highly debateable.
By the way, I am not Jim Nelson, nor do I work for him. Your gonna have to believe that. But, technically I do belong to the third column because this is my opinion.
Next time I want to talk about that third column. There are interesting things to say about it and result probably in food for discussion. Good luck and take care of your G-spot.
