Sigma Labs Inc (SASI)

I have no problem with Sigma’s decision to discontinue the quarterly earnings calls.

Frankly, it seems like a prudent decision.

As John Rice points out, the company is restrained in conference calls from disclosing any material information that has not already been made public and must avoid or parry any questions about future expectations or issues that have not yet been announced for proprietary reasons.

So, there is little to be gleaned from the conference calls and apparently minimal interest from shareholders. As others have pointed out, there was only one investor who participated in the Q & A in the most recent call, and there was another conference call in the last couple years where there was not a single question or comment from investors or interested parties.

I found the most useful portion of the quarterly conference calls to be the CEO’s opening remarks where he summarized the company’s activities. John can still deliver such comments in written form along with the quarterly earnings report in either a press release or letter to shareholders.
