Saw some wild speculation going on here and just wanted to remind everyone that in the end by spring we will be able to get around 4 shipments a month- lets say averaging 650k per shipment minimum. That's 2,600,000 a month minimums.
Time 12 that is 31,200,000 if every shipment is ONLY 650k.
Now of course subtract the absolutely, horrendously, ludicrously expensive pay for Berstos. (Who in the entire world has every heard of a working CEO making over a million?!?!? Never!!! /s) Let's say he gets himself a bonus- Subrtract 2 Million.
$29,200,000
Oh darn, I forgot lets put in our maximum costs for running two ships. Say 3 million a year.
-3,000,000

Well, we have to pay these people......
Okay lets say Berstos is being a little generous and paying what an average US crew would be paid.

$22,479,952.
That would be a rough total in revenue IF we made about the minimum average on each shipment and only did 4 a month AND if we paid our crew fair wages AND if Berstos ups himself to 2,000,000.
I am just saying that passing up on an OTC with the potential for over 22,479,952 in revs would be a little ludicrous.
