Sphere 3D Corp (ANY)

- BUYERS BEWARE - :

As you will inevitably find out looking at all the Sphere 3D Press Releases, their history and what really transpired out of them, the conclusion will be VERY evident.

Here is a little help:

Always read all PRs for what they really are and what they really at minimum just say. Sphere 3D has an intricate web of deceit where people will be offered "hush, hush great development" explanations by a management and their accomplices very busy selling stock instead of product.

Look at my over 1'200 posts on i-hub and how I painfully tried to deny myself realitity on Sphere 3D for years and with great losses. Hoping that each "hush, hush great development" or empty PR about "partnerships" or "product launches" will suddenly, finally lead to big revenue. Even management later admitting there could not even have been revenue from "sell, sell, sell" as Glassware even years later was not even launched on Azure as an "enterprise product". Check how far the competition is and compare, IF you do NOT throughly understand it stay AWAY from this, if you do understand it you will anyway...

Try to examine value, growth and if even in a postive world it could really enough to stem the pressure from costly management selling shares - as most "management" is not registered as insiders (outrageous in itself) and hold very little to no shares anymore, yet seemingly keep getting millions of shares issued, who do these shares get sold to? Couldnt be retail investors could it?

Look at the annual compensation tables of the AGM notice with individuals earning millions! YES millions of dollars every year, for what seems can only be lack of performance or performance seemingly only related to the ability or willingness to pump the stock personally or by enlisting their industry friends to do favours by mentioning Sphere 3D somewhere...

Look at how the famous Glassware is not even patented in the US or how most V3's key "patents" were never followed up on beyond application (A) stage and the lawsuits facing the company and their officers, ehhm...contractors!

Ask yourself why Sphere 3D does garner so little if any industry attention, despite its "disruptive" technology, for years and years now...?

Ask yourself why people keep leaving Sphere 3D for reasons of "personal health"?

Ask yourself why institutional investors would for years now only ever touch this "disruptive" stock in the form of debt, if at all?

Ask yourself how come most management has an appaling track record? One of them, ok excusable, a collection is not a co-incidence...

So how come there are such seemingly dedicated retail followers?
1) management eager to tell stories (some of them hillariously outrageous), of course great developments always just around the corner, finally, yet somehow each of them finds hours every day to talk to retail investors, or promoters, or even the smallest of shareholders...
2) when people become shareholders, and ideally more than they can afford to loose, they get them to pump the stock in their own hope, denial and desperation that the great stories they first heard are true and to maintain the stock price either until they sell (note, retail is notoriously very reluctant to take a loss (as was I)) and to help pump until - the ever in vain hope of soon coming relief because of a big development surprise or performance surprise is there.... It is a never ending vicious cycle of Sphere 3D bagholders trying desperately their best to enlist other bagholders until their hole becomes true...while management enjoys a very fine living having ignited the cycle
3) Shareholders will either be communicating with management or other shareholders unwilling to take the loss. Even groups of private shareholders form...Hoping that it was all just a bad dream they fell for...

Oh, and finally beware of the labelling "the shorts" as whoever tries to publicly mention facts on Sphere 3D will be labelled as a short by bagholders and Sphere 3D management. SAD

Live and learn...

All IMHO
