Judging from the tone of your post, maybe you were having dinner with Ms. Messinger during the call? If you think that it was a "cheap" shot at MS Messinger, you haven't looked at your brokerage statement.
I doubt she was in the room. If she was in the room, shame on her for not presenting the company's financial condition.
Not sure of your background. It is customary for the CFO to present financial condition and be available for Q&A on a call of this type. (Particularly after an event (financing).)
I agree the financing is behind us. There is nothing that can be done. I, however, would like the co. to provide more of the details.
True, for a trade to happen there has to be a buyer and a seller. Throughout the day on Friday, the buyers and sellers took this down to the low 1.70's. I suspect that given where we were at, had it not been for the call we would still be in the 1.90- 2.00 range.
Your comment regarding "one man's reputation...etc..etc." is way off-base. There is a reason a company has a CFO. If she is not capable, replace her. I am not investing in Stoll, Inc. He is the CEO of a company that I am investing in. I would expect him to hire the most competent advisors and employees. (although given the time it took them to prepare the IND it might be a one man show.)
If Stoll is acting in a competent, productive manner and is able to execute, no problem.
If Stoll were to decide to step down on Monday and a new qualified CEO was named, I would guess that this stock would be back over $2.00. The market is frustrated with the man and I am slowly openning up to that line of thinking. I doubt that a younger more agressive CEO would allow the lackluster pps performance. He is a straight shooter which I respect. I do not think his down home folksy persona is what it is going to take to get us the best deal moving forward. A person once said to me: "If the casino doesn't like what is happening at the table, they change the deck."
I know that many disagree but the call is responsible for this price action.
