Stevo,
just a thought, but I think the working word here is "shreholders."
I, for one, would lose no respect for a CEO who attempts to differeniate between shareholders who are truly dedicated to the company and shareholders who are just interested in making money from "flipping." There is nothing wrong with "flipping" and I'm sure as I develop my skills and become more confident I too will be a "flipper" at times. It is part of the trade .
(no pun intended)
However, if I were a CEO, I would want the holders that have been with me the longest, believe in the company and will most likely be with me in the future, to have as much of an "information edge" as possible in order to compete with "flippers" interested only in a quick profit. I don't think many flippers will make the effort to attend the conference and they will have to depend on the longs term, dedicated shareholders for information as being a PK, we all know how difficult it is to get information, so why not leave it up to the longs to decide what information is broadcast immediately and what information is "trickeled" out more slowly. This may not provide much of an edge but it may, in essence, "level the playing field," to some extent, for the longs who don't have the resources that flippers have built up over the course of their trading careers. If I was a plain dedicated "flipper," I would have all of the tools of the trade such as realtime streaming charts, LII, news, Lexus Nexus, Edgar and a major margin account as well as anyother information sources I could lay my hands on.
Knowing this is a small company taking some of its last baby steps before learning how to run, would also indicate to me that many invested here are just starting out and can only afford to invest in the high risk high reward equities. (thank goodness it looks like we have found the right one!)so why not take a chance on shareholder loyalty and have a meeting in which the people that show up are most likely going to be your most loyal holders and hope that they recognize your effort and return that recognition with continued loyalty?
Don't know if this makes any sense but it's just some thoughts I had. Still a newbie and I know I can't afford a round trip flight from N.E. PA to TN.!
