Thanks, True -
The thing is, we as shareholders, don't have enough information to determine what would be a money loser or a profit maker.
We don't know if the better bottomline would come from a few huge bulk sales to Africa, for instance, or large-scale stateside sales. We don't know if small-scale stateside sales (private label water) would have the highest profitability.
For instance: Say that one of us knows the owner the Del Coronado. The Del has 688 rooms. Assume an 80% occupancy. The shareholder connects the owner of the Del with Mr. Goldstein at RSPG. Mr. Goldstein sells the owner of the Del into providing 4 bottles of complimentary private label souvenir Del water with each room at check-in.
The Del sales department pitches Del private label souvenir water to conventions. The hotel sells them in their restaurants, poolside, tennis courts, etc. Would 1 million bottles of water annually be a reasonable estimate? That's .068% of RSPG's annual production resulting from a shareholder connecting a friend (the owner of the Del) with RSPG.
A second benefit is that it keeps individual shareholders in on-going touch with the co-founders of RSPG. For instance, these gentlemen are aware today of Mr. Restifo's recommendation to you regarding IR.
All of this goes against good investing, but from my personal standpoint, I like trying to help the company, it would be great fun to be a small part of a nothing company that becomes successful, and I enjoy reading the interactions of the members of this board.
But for the typical investor, he buys low and sells high (hopefully) with no emotion.
