Let me offer a few comments on your endeavors:
1. It is to your credit that you are among the few, if indeed there is anyone else, who has "opened the curtain" as to his/her true identity. It was interesting, pursuant to your openness, to read more about you in Linked-In, and I encourage you to devote some of your boundless energy to whichever MBA program you will choose. I think that your graduate thesis or project might be a quantitative analysis of the impact of the investor relations function on stock performance.
2. Regarding VHUB's IR campaigns, Paul Knopick did a diligent job in getting Kyle Winther (primarily) speaking engagements on various web-radio (I guess that would be how the medium might be described)infomercial kind of programs some months ago in an attempt to bring a larger body of potential investors to some level of awareness about the vaping industry in general and VHUB in particular. Nothing much happened, it would appear, due to that effort. ...though it would be interesting to survey the denizens of this board to see what drew them to first take an interest in VHUB.
3. I differ with Paul's approach in only one aspect. As an example, his press regarding year-end numbers focused, actually only even mentioned, sales and gross margin. Of course, the bottom line was available for discussion. I believe that if you don't discuss a topic, then the public will fill in the blank in the most negative way that can be imagined. Better to say there was a loss for the year and give some reasons, then mention how each of those reasons will become less onerous going forward, than to let the reader discover that indeed was a loss. Of course, Paul has done this for a living for a long time, so I'd take his viewpoint over mine every day of the week (but still I am allowed my curiosity).
4. Beyond matters of your post, to the extent that the polls have swung in Trump's direction and nothing seems to have been factored into the stock regarding the potential of reduced regulatory burden, I would believe that there's a substantial buying opportunity in VHUB at the moment, even with Fife's stock overhanging the market. Perhaps folks are waiting until the first quarter earnings release due in about two weeks.
I wish you well in all your endeavors. FWIW, if you have the financial capacity to do an MBA full-time, take a look at the graduate program at Bentley University in Waltham, MA.
