Corrected post on Facts vs. Emotions
Facts versus emotions
Happy Saturday ICLD family and the first thing I want to suggest is that you ask yourself this question, "Am I a disciplined investor Or Am I an Emotional, ADD, roller coaster flipper mentality Junkie in the penny stock market always looking for the next hit". There is nothing wrong with either approach but here's the message. KNOW THYSELF:)) Start there.
Whether we are investors or Flippers or day Traders and regardless of our investing budget we are all looking for high investment returns and make the most that we possibly can. Yes Or Yes? Please understand that the majority of people who are consistently Trading based on emotions end up making huge mistakes over the long term and most of them do not make a huge amount of money because of the emotions of fear greed and Hope (FGH).
Now let's look at the facts again and what really is the risk and reward for this investment.
First, please understand that this is not a one-man CEO show operating a shell sitting in the basement of their home like most penny stock companies that are pointless and useless garbage without any real meaningful products and/or services and they usually end up going to nothing because there was nothing to begin with. Most of you know this company was almost a dollar about a year ago and there are several hundreds of employees that work at icld and I believe the last count I read was around 450 employees. This is important because there are so many penny stock pointless and garbage operations making false promises about hiring a Salesforce and about ramping up production of a non-existent product or service. The promises never come to fruition and these companies go from nothing to nothing because there was nothing to begin with. So first and foremost understand this is not like the penny stocks most people may be used to Trading. ICLD IS THE REAL DEAL. A REAL COMPANY. REAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. REAL SALES FORCE. REAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN REVENUES. 2016 AROUND 68 MILLION REVS.
Next you want to understand acknowledge and accept the facts which state that while this company either mistakenly or because of poor decision-making allowed toxic debt to come on the books, the current factual scenario is that in the last year especially the last six to nine months the CEO has consistently communicated the same effective message. That message has been that they are divesting non-core assets that were not producing much profits and they were drastically reducing debt which has been reduced from 50 million dollars to around 5 million and they have drastically reduced operational expenses and salary and wage expenses as well as SG & A expenses. On the revenue side we have to acknowledge that the CEO has stated that after divesting non-core assets the assets which remain with the company were responsible for producing 50 million dollars in revenues in 2016. This does not give us guaranteed revenues of 50 million dollars or any other amount for 2017 but it's an important thing to acknowledge and understand and accept because facts are facts and we want to deal with facts and not emotions. The company has been recently and consistently announcing new contracts that they have been awarded and again these are going to amount to tens of millions of dollars for 2017 and that is just an opinion that one may be able to form given the facts. The CEO stated they continue to present the NFV grid platform to Fortune 500 companies and we all know a handful of these relationships could change the entire direction of this company for the positive.
Now let's address the reverse split. We all know that a reverse split of 1 to 4 has been approved by the shareholders and we know that it can happen anytime before the last day of August this year. Yes everything points out to the fact that they most likely will execute on this reverse split but the timing between now and the end of August is up to the CEO. The first thing is do realize this is a 1 to 4 reverse split not one to 50 or 1 to 100 or some ridiculous number which is what garbage penny stock companies have done time and again. This is a conservative and responsible reverse split and yes while we can all expect some dilution because it is a fact that the company will need to issue more shares and they could be expected to be responsible with the dilutive process and yes there may be the normal typical correction because of the reverse split whenever that reverse split happens, please understand that you do not need to have an unhealthy fear of a conservative and responsible and much-needed reverse split. This kind of a reverse split is NOT the end of a company or the death of a company. Next please realize that the price per share could easily be a lot higher than the current price within the next two months. So then wasn't it silly for investors and day Traders and flippers for that matter to not be putting money into this company at $0.02 and $0.03 because of the emotional negative rant of misguided and predisposed to negativity posters whose agenda no one really knows. The price is currently around $0.04 and it's anyone's guess when the reverse split may happen and whether the price may not already have gone to $0.10 $0.15 $0.20 $0.25 or even higher. After all just recently some of you noticed a complete garbage penny stock D**h move up 700% or 7 times to the mid-30s in cents and it is still trading around $0.20. Now that is what is complete nonsense so why would you and I expect that icld could not Fast & Furiously move to much higher and realistic Market valuations before we are anywhere near the reverse split. This can easily happen and although none of us can guarantee price action it certainly is a high probability that the price per share could potentially be considerably higher from current valuations before the CEO executes on the reverse split which is again a responsible and conservative 1 to 4 reverse split. In conclusion to this point I would say please stop trying to time the market and stop trying to price progostinate and most importantly stop listening to the emotional negative slanted misguided and predisposed agenda based comments from other posters. Listen only to the company.
Do your due diligence and call the company if you need to call the company to get your questions answered since that's why companies have investors relations departments and make your own decisions and take responsibility for your investment choices and absolutely blame nobody else no matter what happens to the share price.
Bottom line is this and that tells us that the company is executing aggressively in the last 6 months in reducing their expenses from so many different angles and in so many different ways and they're continuing to focus on improving and increasing revenues from the current assets on the books and looking for new relationships possibly and potentially with Fortune 500 companies and at the same time anticipating revenues to go up high enough that they will actually acquire productive profit producing Assets in the future which is all implicated by the actual and factual CEO comments in recent press releases issued by the company.
Lastly please understand then the company is aggressively looking for conservative traditional financing options and make no mistake about this that none of us know what could happen here in effectuating a complete removal of toxic debt and having a more healthier and better looking balance sheet.
The cloud industry is predicted to grow tremendously in the next two to three to four years and icld will participate in the growth. Don't forget that there are companies out there looking to gobble up a company like icld and again it's anyone's guess whether the CEO is preparing the books to actually get acquired one day. They're focusing on increasing shareholder value as per the most recent press release.
I hope that the time and energy I have taken to post this message does not go to waste and shows all investors that there are so many possibilities and you cannot base investment decisions randomly and especially by listening to the wrong people on these boards. LISTEN TO THE COMPANY ONLY.
INVEST IN ICLD WITH CONFIDENCE AND CONVICTION.
