JMAC!! Thank you! Excellent post!
I chime in rarely, but one of my very few comments was that we should use this board to piece together a list of comments, concerns and questions for the AGM. A little teamwork on our part could go a long way to promote our causes, which boil down to probably two major concerns: PPS and successful market launch (which requires approvals, partnering/supplier/MFG/distribution/training etc.) Random speculation hurts those efforts.
It appears at first glance as though your list is fairly comprehensive, given the nature of the forum. Please consider this to be a digital handshake from me to express my gratitude.
Meanwhile, I would like to pose another consideration for us all. This board appears to be one of the dominant formats from which any prospective investor will get a feel for the company, the product, and the stock itself. Certainly, it can be a bit of a free-for-all, with most posters sticking to issues and a few occasionally getting a bit personal, but if we really wanted to achieve success on the two concerns I mentioned above, it should start here. Naturally, we all have our opinions on management styles, and whereas we don't have all the info we would like, we are sometimes left in the dark more than we wish. Part of it is the nature of the beast, and some things could possibly be clarified if we had a clear, reliable communication path. The AGM might be used to express our request for more comprehensive and more frequent data.
But this message board is also one of the primary forums the world has to gauge the company, the product, and the stock when deciding whether or not to invest (and if so, how much). To the outside world, we are a reflection of the face of the company itself. When we get petty or hyper-critical en masse, you can expect to see PPS slip - our negativity scares away potential buyers. If we stay positive, focus on the upsides, maybe conjecture about the positive sides of various potential partnering scenarios (e.g. JNJ's distribution channels are solid and could get us into dozens of markets right off the bat), we just might see a fair uptick in interest from the outside world. More interest, more stock buyers, increased PPS all mean more income with less dilution for us, better fundraising potential for Titan, and a better shot at seeing this thing launch while we choose which vintage bottle of Dom we want to celebrate with.
I'm not trying to be a cheerleader, but more of a big-picture team builder. Bad news happens, but when it does, let's not spin it out of control. And when good things happen, they certainly deserve our attention. We are inherently salespeople for Titan stock because people come to see what we have to say before they dive in. Maybe the pool should be a little more inviting for new shareholders.
Okay, rant over. Back on point, lets build and refine the list of AGM talking points to keep Titan's public image optimized and to keep the train on the tracks. JMAC's baseline looks to me like an excellent starting point, so thank you again.
