I have been a stockholder in SMME for well over 15 years. I've paid as much as 75 cents a share some 9 years ago; I have recommended this stock to over 15 people, at least 12 who themselves have become stockholders; I have been through the ups and downs, the promises and explanations. So I do count myself among those who "understand" the negativity, frustrations and disappointments of stockholders.
Rule #1 in investing is: DO NOT INVEST MONEY YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. It applies to penny stocks and Big Board stocks. Years ago I invested in Grant stores...it was a Big Board stock that went bankrupt. My father invested in American Motors...it was on the Big Board and one of the Big 4 automobile companies which was swallowed up by Chrysler Motor company for pennies on the dollar...Chrysler also tanked over time. A well known and respected investment company suggested to the church I attended at the time to invest the proceeds of a land sale in General Motors bonds...just before it went bankrupt.
I wonder if anyone knows how long it takes and how much it costs to bring the "described" Credit/Debit; security card SMME says it has developed to market? If one does not KNOW then why does one complain about the time and the cost? The time and the cost associated with the SMME card may (does) lend reason for frustrations and disappointments to many. Yet, no one else in the field as come close to developing what SMME says it has. And I would venture a guess that Swipe, associated with a big monetary backer, has invested much more than we and they are not even close to having a card as SMME described it has. And don't tell me don't have a card...that is only a belief expressed by the frustrated. There may be a belief among many that a card does not exist...but that does not mean that a card does not exist. Only a few people know the truth....and those insiders are saying The Card exists.
As for what Chaya has been allowed to receive as compensation, with board approval, I don't care if her personal wealth surpassed $100 BILLION, as long as my small investment rewards me with wealth beyond my dreams.
