Thank you for that good article.
This CEO never ceases to amaze me. I particularly like this sentence: "Planning for the vagaries of the newer markets with an eye on older markets would seem to imply that thriving in newly developed markets might require some mature-market capabilities, like M&A and Turnaround Management."
Zac is like John Chen of Blackberry in a way. He loves long run-on sentences that never end. He is always thinking, strategizing, and consolidating and growing and adding and buying and expanding and -- GOD, I love this company! Monopolistic practices here and defining our turf. If you want to sell legally, pay your taxes to Helix. And if you want to sell illegally, well, we know law enforcement in high places. Don't get too cocky. There is a new sheriff in town. A new fist driving armored plated cars, collecting taxes. That's the end game here. I like that formula.
Now, what I'm not happy with is Mr. Market's greed. I want 10,000 shares at a nickel. Not a dollar, at a nickel. Your job is to be furious at insiders and investors making money. How dare they do all the work and take on all the risk. You are absolute right to be angry at such anti-capitalist behavior. So, you should capitulate and sell me your shares at a nickel and put me in my place!
Thank you. And if you could do that this week, that would be great.
