Hi ES1, I don't mind at all.
I can change the name if you want, I'm not married to it. Frankly I put not a second's thought into it when creating the account. I do like dragon silk, however. I believe it will prove to be an excellent product. I feel that way about monster silk as well. Maybe I should have called myself Monster_Dragon. In fact I may start insisting my wife call me that lol
I'm sorry if you thought I was saying the company is not very good. On the contrary , I believe the company is going to eventually be very successful. I think this a rare opportunity for someone like me, a blue collar working stiff, to actually not have to worry about money anymore. I believe accumulating shares all these years will eventually pay off for those of us who have stuck by it. That's the gamble I've made anyway. I don't kid myself that it's an investment. Not in the traditional sense anyway. Anyone who says this is not a high risk stock to hold is lying to themselves. I'm willing to lose it all for that opportunity to gain alot. I'll even call myself a greedy little pig that may get slaughtered.
I understand setbacks happen. I understand delays. I have not minded collecting all the shares along the way as my goal has always been long term retirement anyway. I've accumulated 2 million shares. It's taken me a long time to do that. So yes, I believe it's a good company. Or at least WILL be. I've bet my money on it.
One could argue it hasn't been a good company obviously. "Good company" is subjective, depending on your goals and benchmarks. Mojo has earned my respect over the years as he's probably been more right than anyone when it comes to just how long it would take this company to get to profitability. We haven't even gotten to revenue yet, aside from the pittance from the army. I gotta hand it to Mojo; he's been accurately calling it all these years. I've just chosen to ignore his advice.
Ultimately though I think this company will payoff for us all. No, ES1, I think you misunderstood me. My complaint, like others, is how they've communicated (or more accurately: not).
The newsletter is a step in the right direction but it's no substitute for a quarterly conference calls, which reputable publicly companies and CEOs do. I'm not calling on Kim to give up trade secrets. I'm calling on him to show a little more respect and courtesy towards his shareholders who have put their money where his mouth was in the beginning. And I'm not even calling on a quarterly cc at this time because we can't even get a yearly one out of him. Baby steps. Lets start with a yearly conference call. Just to say "Hi I'm your CEO Kim Thompson. I'm still alive. Thank you for continuing to stand with us. Let me update you on our current outlook/projection etc ...."
You say we're not giving him slack or being tolerant? I think we've given him more than he deserves. Despite Kim's lack of professionalism with the market, I continue to believe we will get there.
