Josh, IMO, the company has created the problem with the information they have put out and the way they have handled the PR's. Below is a repost of #65679 earlier.
REPOST: With respect to the recent cabal over the new CEO and other recent PR's, there is a very simple solution, which would dispel confusion, and felt need to scurry around for information and confirmation to support what is released. An intelligent, cogently written, and thorough PR statement would do the trick. After all, the purpose of a PR is to promote the company. A successful PR causes investors to place their money in your company's stock, increasing demand and share price which increases your market cap, etc.
Poorly worded, cryptic, confusing, contradicting, and incomplete PR's promote confusion, apprehension, and ultimately may cause existing investors to question the soundness of their investment decision (inducing some of them to sell for fear of investment loss) or cause other potential investors to stay away from your stock.
The company is the only one who is in charge of the direction of their stock (with regards to PR's and its affect). Good PR's, chronicling real growth, solid business developments, sales, contracts, etc., written intelligently, with externally verifiable information will instill confidence and promote a growth in stock price and contribute to the success of the company. Since the stated purpose of SLJB is to reach the NASDAQ, I would expect this caliber of PR's as well as building associations with individuals and professional companies to get you to that goal. The development of Marquee AM as the IR, IMO, failed to project that kind of professionalism and expectation.
BTW, I simply do not buy the idea that a PR should be cryptic and confusing so that "weak hands" will sell and be replaced by "strong hands". IMO, this is contrary to the purpose of a PR and defies logic.
I have been called a "basher" by asking questions, seeking clarification, and trying to understand some of this company's confusing and questionable PR's. Yet, I have been a long since October 2005 and bought some really cheap in the .008's. I verified the credibility of LFWK's properties and development. I have done similarly with SLJB. But the rise of a company with 25 million in profits to over 650 million without quality, intelligent, and professional PR's have caused the reactions we have seen in recent weeks.
People like myself hang on here because of the potential risk/reward factor. However, a company that wants to march into the NASDAQ must stop operating like a pinkie if they expect to make the transition successfully. JMO.
No, I won’t sell and move on just to make a few people who think they are superior to others happy. I will do what I believe is in my best interest regardless of what you call me. This board is here for the free exchange of ideas and opinions. This is mine. Sorry for the long post; just had to get this off my chest!
