Alan, If you think that a lack of Mgmt and BOD purchases of the company's stock is unusual for a tiny and emerging public company, I think you are mistaken.

Would it be nice to see this happen? Sure. But I think this rarely, rarely occurs. A speculative investment in Sigma at this point is not far off from a VC investment, in my view. I have made some VC investments -- not a lot, but a small number, and in my experience not only is it not the norm or typical or expected for co leadership to purchase equity ownership, but rather, the norm seems to be to grant significant equity to co leadership, with some performance requirements attached.

Surely we'll see the new leadership of Sigma granted ownership equity of some significance -- why otherwise would people with business credentials -- the sort of people you'd want to be leading the company - bother?

We want these folks to be properly incentivized to stay the course and with hard work and sweat hopefully build this company to significance. What remains to be seen in my opinion is not whether co leadership purchase shares of the company, but what are the terms of the equity component of their compensation, and is
their compensation structured to incentivize rather than simply hand over equity.
