Okay downreg, you've hit several nails on the head. It is difficult to come up with a more childish phrase than, if you don't like it, then you should be doing it yourself." It is obvious that few of us could do it and even far less likely that we would be afforded the opportunity to do so, even if we had those talents, contacts and abilities.
That childishness is only exceeded by the phrase, "If you don't like the way "X" is doing things, then just sell your stock and shut up." This is a publicly owned corporation and as such, business must be conducted in the prescirbed manners. A cursory review of another debacle that featured that "my way or the highway" mentality was Fast Eddie and his cronies at Enron. I don't think CYGX wantsto take that approach.
Some folks like to criticise some folks who are no longer active in management. By Gawd, without a few of them, the company would have been buried long ago. I can remember watching a couple of them literally fund day-to-day operations and work without compensation ... especially after an early fiasco. And, a couple of them realized that they had reached the limit of their ability to contribute and left, or at least filled different roles as best they could.
One of your examples demonstrates an example of someone giving their best effort, but not having sufficient ability, contacts and understanding to have produced a far better result. When a wide receiver is giving it his best effort and just can't score ... now that's the time to worry and look for someone else to whom to throw. A rookie may be able to make small gains, but then coach will start considering his options ... he may move the WR to another position where his talents are better utilized and try to find a Jerry Rice to put in his spot.
We can talk about what MIGHT be if this test is good or that product is brought to market, but that is all pure speculation. We need to be mindful that many of the projections made on these many threads are based more on a desire for an outcome than on a well reasoned analysis of the available information.
My lord, nobody wants to see us at $10.00 per share than this old geezer. I'll just take my millions and drift away and start trying see that my money and breath depart simultaneously. My kids and grandkids will be very comfortable and that's all I owe them ... LOL
Sorry for the tirade, but ... well ... there is ALWAYS room for improvement.
The comment that a few posters have made ?without these actions we wouldn?t be here today? assumes that we are at the best possible place or that other decisions would have put cygx out of business. That?s big assumption. There is an equal, if not better, chance that we could be much better off if different decisions were made or different funding found.
