I was just reviewing some prior input regarding CEO selection with thoughts of piecing together another letter. As much as I would like to believe we could make a positive impact on share price, I'm not sure that is feasible right now. There is probably too much liquidation ongoing for the tax season. And pressing for a CEO is probably superfluous if not downright distracting to them; I'm sure it remains at the top of their list. Although in the holiday spirit, we could perform a rousing rendition of "All I Want For Christmas Is a New Buff Chief (Executive Officer)" but I don't sing well, so that's out.
I have also considered different content for the third letter, basically wishing them a joyful holiday season, and possibly requesting an update on a few issues: the status of the CEO search (Have they found a few viable candidates? Narrowed it down to two or three? Maybe already signed someone on for a late January start date?) as well as status of development, update on projected timelines, funding strategies and budget vs. burn rate, any progress on the regulatory front (CE and/or FDA), marketing plans, and imminent publicity we can look forward to. I would also mention that to those of us who believe in this technology, the few times it has had any public exposure, we are proud of the instrument and the organization and always excited to hear feedback from those who saw it in person. We need more of those opportunities. Another reason for this letter would be simply to keep the communication channel open. Mr. Barker hinted that they are listening to our input, and if sparse communications from them was one of our prior gripes, we shouldn't be too sparse with ours. But if we don't have anything meaningful to communicate, it will just waste their time and we will lose their respect.
If you folks believe such a letter would be worthwhile, I'm all for it and will jump right on it. Please opine!
