I have repeatedly said that I think this message board is influential in the Titan investment community as a source of information which more people read than any of us will ever realize. That theory seems to get shot down frequently by those who think otherwise.
"Compared to everybody else at 98% yay's, Randell squeaked by with 57% yay's and 42% nay's"
Please, any of you doubters... or anyone at all... submit any link from anywhere around the internet in which there is any sort of bad press for Randall. Anything at all negative that wasn't posted here is welcomed.
Once we fail at that, the ONLY logical, viable conclusion is that this message board had enough reach and influence to sway 42% of shareholder power to vote against Randall. That 42% is shares, not just shareholder headcount, and includes a lot of us relatively small players. And despite our opinions expressed here about Randall's performance, not everyone who reads this message board would have voted against him.
I think it is time that all of us contributors accept that we do in fact have a real influence on the investor population. And the more we bash the stock, the company, and the management team, the worse it is going to perform. Crashing the PPS into its current state isn't a self-fulfilling prophesy for anyone here if our own influence helped drag it down here. It was cause and effect. And it will continue to be so until all of us quit bitching and look at (and express here)the positives about the technology, the product, and the management team which so far has been meeting milestones (I haven't yet seen anything from the AGM other than what is posted on this board).
Unless someone can dig up some seriously bad press about Randall, the Nay votes have to have been from readers of this message board. And from last month's poll, we (with some family and friends reported) are only 6% of the shares. To get to 42% against (to be fair, 2% were voting against everyone so only the remaining 40% of Nay votes can be attributed to this message board), and if no other bad press is out there for Randall, that is absolute proof of our influence, both good and bad. That is MY smoking gun.
Every time you want to post something negative here, look at the PPS first and think about which way, up or down, you want to drive it.
