I work hard for my money and try doing the right thing in investing and hoping to make it grow. I thought MNTR was heading in the right direction and now I'm down 27% on 5000 shares on MNTR. Thanks for looking out for your shareholders!

Well keep dumping stock every week and you'll be right back to August 2016 stock prices in no time. The stock has dropped pretty close to 30% in less than 30 days. That's a third of your companies evaluation gone in less than 30 days.

Haha..I like the opening at least you have a sense of humor. I understand you have made this company grow in value on the OTC market. I also understand personal financial obligations and being strapped for cash. It's my personal opinion as a stockholder of MNTR stock and I'm just a guppy in the ocean, that when it's CEO has been dumping stock continuously for the last 5-6 months without buying any back. Just makes me wonder what you know that I don't. I'd love to see some positive PR on MNTR other than Chet sold another 16000 shares. I personally loved the investment in GWPH. I think the cannabis market is going to be a gold mine in the future and I want to be invested in the Microsoft type company of the cannabis market.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know but public perception is huge in your stock price, doesn't even matter where your investments are heading. Wall street can drive your shares back to August 2016 pricing and I don't want to see that happen and I'm sure neither do you.

Regards,

XXXX

XXXX -- Dumb CEO here. I obviously need some help and your suggestions are appreciated. I apparently made a mistake and I am thinking out loud with you. For 20 years I have paid myself $104,000 per year (vs $250,000 to $450,000) for other public company CEO’s. I did not issue myself stock options nor shares. I didn’t sell any shares for the preceding 15 years or so before August 2016. I only rewarded myself by increasing the market cap of MNTR from $260,000 to $45,000,000 over a 17 year period. 100% of my family’s net worth was happily tied up in the business of MNTR which was my “bank” storing my families wealth. With two boys in out of state schools and significant medical issues in the family I just had to earn more than $1,300 net per week. So, I researched it and saw that under SEC safe harbor of a 10b5-1 plan I could sell about 5,000 shares each of three days per week out of my 5,000,000 shares. When I started this in August the share price was 30 cents. Now the share price is $2.07/sh. I felt if I was trickling in 15,000 shares per week into the market, that would not interfere with share price growth, which it did not for the 600% growth that following my start of leaking in shares on a level basis.

However, the SEC asks for notice within 48hrs in a Form 4 even if I sell 200 shares. So, you see 6 to 10 share Form 4 sale reports each month even though I am trickling in only a fraction of the ongoing share volume. This looks bad. But, in theory, selling small amounts spread over time is as gentle as possible on the share price. In theory I’m doing what is best, but in practice I do nothing but irritate the heck out of you. I’ll work on it. Thanks for the nudge.

Best in All Things,
