Thanks.
(And I can live without the transparent commentary.)
And to me? Well, it's a tad confusing. And I'll provide you an example...
The favorably secured funding/financing to date. And recall the following?
"Approximately $2 million has been secured thus far, with, but not limited to, Wachovia, GMAC Financial, and Chestnut Financial."
And same came to us via the Q&A route. And courtesy ONLY of persistent shareholder questioning. And IS such right? Fitting? And how about our private placements? Our registration statement? The $1m? We had to go searching. AND drop a few bucks re accessing the data/detail. And IS such right? Fitting? The point being that it is, as stated, a tad confusing. For not only are we talking about material company events that SHOULD’VE been disclosed in a full and fair and timely and such manner as per SEC rules/regs (non-reporting notwithstanding). But additionally, information/detail that any other management team WOULD be falling all over themselves to release to shareholders. Given, that is, what significant operating and/or growth/expansion capital secured on favorable terms does equate to for said shareholders and the involved company. And ALL shareholders. And HOW long did it take us to become capitalized for the first time? DID Bobbie comment about a lack of money being always the issue? The issue from day one? How long our silent period? And when all IS said and done there COME no detailed PR's? TWO rounds of funding/financing? Favorably termed? And add up, does it? MAKE sense? Right? Fitting? Is it? Sharing the referenced details after months of silence WOULDN'T have put smiles on involved faces all around? No?
As stated, any other similar outfit raises needed operating and/or growth/expansion capital on favorable terms and they ARE falling all over themselves to get the good word out and understandably so. And, again, we're talking material company event(s). SEC rules/regs. Fiduciary duty and so on. And what of the again $600k mentioned via webcast? What there? Why was that not disclosed via again called for channels? The official route? The details? Ones, again, to smile about. And, so, DOES it add up? Make sense? IS it right? Fitting? So on? Huge news and we hear absolutely nothing officially? Being forced indeed to beg/beseech/dig. So on. Including, again, digging into our own pockets? Yours truly providing the initial detail re the $1m, for example, courtesy of 'sources'? So on? Doesn't even SLIGHTLY add up. And now? Well, apparently a major turning point yet again in the overall proceedings. The raising of significant additional funding/financing via, this time, the leveraging of managerial holdings/assets personally held and GETTING on with the job of closing long outstanding and pending M&A deals and such. And? Well, raise indeed the mentioned capital the mentioned way and yet again no PR('s)? No official word? No sharing of the detail? No? Detail to again smile about? MATERIAL again, detail? Inclusive of just and exactly indeed how same is to be applied? Funding/financing? NO spelling it all out? No? And, if so? Well, DOES it add up? Great news indeed and no indeed formal/official mention? No rooftops? No stentorian voice? No? And NOT a tad confusing? No? Need of pps appreciation for more reason than one? GETTING the good word out?
The raising of needed capital is what MAKES/BREAKS startup stage companies. It's the be all and end all. Operating and growth/expansion. And if it CAN be done on favorable terms and significantly so? As OPPOSED to the toxic route/routine? Eventual implosion?
Hmm?
I didn't get it then. And I don't get it now. The total lack of formal/official sharing, that is. Just DOESN'T make any sense. DOESN’T fit. Not to again mention the failure to comply with the referenced mandates. And what again OF the mentioned latest round of capital raising? Well, one WOULD think that given all, shareholder unrest inclusive, that any eventually 'done deal' would indeed be shouted in stentorian voice from the rooftops. And that additionally there WOULD come a boldly PR'd statement re application of same. That, yes, the closing of the Skiershop deal, for example, IS forthcoming. Cash to BE applied. So on. NO more waiting. GETTING done the ‘complementary’ and indeed MOVING us at market level and permanently so. We're talking about opportunities lost/potentially lost. Opportunities to HAVE message boards and such buzzing with anticipation about the company's prospects overall and near-term ROI and the rest of it. To PUT an end to the speculation and guesswork and discontent and so on. The desire to bail. And IS IT rocket science?
It just DOESN'T add up. Shareholders AREN'T looking for miracles. Just indeed to be kept up-to-date/informed as called for. And if regular shareholder updates IS the reality? Well, then DO live up to that reality. Q&A and webcasts inclusive. And IR in the dark? And exactly how telling IS that? And, sure, Dan and the rest are busy as hell. We all know it. But such is no excuse. And certainly not for failing to again comply with again official mandates. Running a public company after all is what it is. There ARE certain obligations to be adhered to ongoingly. And it IS about time. About time it WAS...
ALL spelled out.
Favorable share structure adjustments and all. ‘Complementary’ inclusive. The rest of it. Non-reporting means something for sure. But it DOESN’T mean failure to communicate. Failure to comply with systemic mandates. Failure to indeed honor one’s own words. So on. And as for what you presented in general? Well, I happen to recall your earlier post in which you outlined a few similar proposals for the company/it’s management. And a good post it was and is. And you're right re the approaching season. Good timing and all. And we are after all re our media division an advertising/marketing powerhouse/powerhouse-to-be and we HAVE just been contracted re the design AND implementation of a package of related services re the corporate image of another and its subsidiaries. And, so, WHY not ourselves? And? Well in fact that's exactly what our VVV initiative is all about. Raising company awareness, that is. BRINGING the company to the notice of the equities investing/trading world at large. Foreign exchanges and all, The rest of it. But indeed much more COULD be done. YOUR well thought-out proposals inclusive. Podcasts and all. And our coming DVD? Well, a showcase. What the company IS all about. Supposedly. Shareholder specific information/detail and all. And a DVD we know, available to any and all upon request. And it WILL be interesting on a number of fronts as talked about. The watching of said DVD. And we SHALL see. And a solid ‘beginning’ it absolutely is. A good step for sure. And it should be emblazoned on the company website and elsewhere. The availability, that is. And for obvious reasons. A cost that will pay for itself. And what else? Well how ABOUT simply enough greatly expanding upon our value/valuation PR indeed? The 'complementary'? And doing so via webcast. How about that? FOR starters? And WOULD Stuart be smiling?
GET to Stuart and spell out in detail for listeners EXACTLY what the plan IS. Spell OUT the fact that management HAS decided to make certain personal sacrifices on behalf of all. Themselves inclusive. And…
“Well, Stuart, after serious and lengthy deliberation, I, and the rest of the company’s board of directors have resolutely determined, on behalf the company itself and all shareholders, to… ! … … … And much progress to that end… ! … … …”
I mean, HOW difficult is it? And NOT the right thing to do? No? It’s ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do, is what it is. Fits like one of those proverbial gloves, it does. GET to Stuart and DO state the game plan. The intent. PUT smiles on shareholder’s faces all around. Shareholders-to-be. So on. Dan and the rest are absolutely the authors of their own misfortune. Always getting an earful. Failure to communicate absolutely the reality. No spin. No hype. No other such. Just tell it like it is. Get to Stuart indeed and DO spell it all out in glorious detail. DO what it is is right and called for. KEEP shareholders up-to-date/informed and in the best ways possible. Q&A and PR(‘s) and shareholder update(s) inclusive. And NO. Rocket science it AIN’T. I mean, if Dan and the rest ARE even getting an earful from Stuart? From the company’s own IR rep? Lack of communication? Well…
What more IS there to say?
Hmm?
And, sure, your proposals and such are good ones. Getting the company good word out in fitting and telling ways. And if we ARE about to close the Skiershop deal and REN/Steamboat TV-17 and Summus center Steamboat via the application of a little cash? And the mentioned ‘bigger company’ LOI’d and so on? Well indeed…
DO say so. DO tell all.
How INDEED difficult, is it?
We need pps appreciation for reason more than one? A significantly higher, stable average trading base? Well, try INDEED…
A little fitting communication.
Communication designed TO extremely fittingly add fuel to the fire.
‘Complementary’…
And all.
And a note…

“mountainman look forward to you posting here … did you pay for all of your shares … I have paid for 100% of my shares”
And, yes. Paid in full. No reverse. Real company built the right way. Management indeed hard at work. Risk/reward I am VERY MUCH contented with. LACK of communication being again…
The issue.
And hopefully the message WILL…
Sink in.
And soon.
And there I’ll leave it.
Gorb…
Didn’t come soon enough for me to share in a timely manner with the board. But I was on the receiving end of private side word last eve telling me to watch for increasing volume. Came from a contact I don’t hear from very often but who has been reliable in the past. And we shall see.
Cass...
Of course.
Humanity comes first.
The mundane BEING entirely dismissible.
And there’s a family in my immediate neighborhood, the father and son of which, are both AS afflicted. Both with a significantly stiffened and stooped gait and more. And it’s difficult even to watch. And help, many of us routinely do. And both of them, father AND son, quick to smile and to laugh. And amazing, it is, the strength of some people. The ability to deal. To overcome. Can certainly at times be a humbling experience for those of us not so afflicted. And good it is to hear of your being cancer-free. And 28%? My mom was down to 10% overall before dialysis became the reality for her. And sadly enough said dialysis proved complicated, and immediately thereafter, for numerous reasons. Reasons I won’t get into at this time. Was a very tough battle. In and out of hospital. Surgery after surgery. So on. And yourself, again? Well, you too obviously have been through a lot. Are going through a lot. And a fighter you obviously are and as evidenced in more ways than one. And kudos for sure. And certainly little wonder, why it is, Met does so admire and respect you as much as he obviously does. As much as some of the rest of us now do.
Cancer. AS. Kidney failure.
A lot indeed.
Strength indeed.
And all the best indeed.
Some things ARE important in life. And some things…
Aren’t.
And on the board?
Always maintaining your dignity. Even in the face of overwhelming adversity. No routine and extreme devolving to gutter level as per so many others. And indeed saying all it needs to.
Character and all.
And do take care.
Keeping, indeed, that chin up.
You and the rest.
