Lawsuits, phone numbers, and emails are the least of my worries. If you haven't noticed, they (Scott Terry, Johan Eliasch, Johan Askel Bergendorff, Johan Claasen) are in the process of turning TMPS around. I still believe that Johan Eliasch wanted the private and public side of Tempus, but was unable to strike a deal with the private side for whatever reason. They are now devoted to building on the foundation of TMPS. They are being very conservative when it comes to tapping equity, Johan Eliasch did not covert or call the note due, and there are zero signs that something sinister is going on with the stock.
TMPS has struggled, they have a major working capital issue, they've lost contracts, Jack Gulbin and Scott Terry went different directions, they are going through a total restructure, and there are legal distractions that keep popping up, but they've continued to move forward. Yes, it has been slow, but it's always been forward. It's real simple, you either believe management will turn things around or you don't. Pointing out what's wrong with a $0.15 stock is about as easy as it gets. Peeling the layers back or tearing up the old carpet to refinish the original hardwood floors is hard, but worth it if you know what you're doing. Management has given no indication that they're giving up or pulling the ripcord, which is why I look for any opportunity to add to my position.
Also, the lack of guidance, news releases, earnings calls, etc., may not be a top priority right now. If anything, I'd be more worried if they were focused on all that stuff as opposed to turning the company around. They know they're in a tough spot, which is why they may not be advertising it right now. Also, they're making the required filings. Maybe they're looking to clear the runway a little more before turning up the throttle, as counterintuitive as it might seem.
Until I see signs that management is no longer committed, I'm still a buyer.
