KG & GreenHarvest: this board has been one of the more intelligent and fun readings I've had for a while. I'm a newbie and learning loads. Now, this eh, O/S matter and Tom's 6 million unexplained, given that Hacketts, needs no funding you say, well, isn't there a 3rd possible acquisition in the works before year's end?? or at least close by?
If we go by the positive view of Tom & Co., then the 10Q will provide favorable info, but more importantly, we will by year's end know of another acquistion in progress, businesses folding into SWVC, maybe from the GS grouping (it's not lost on me that Tommy is ah, is it CFO of GS??, etc...) hmmm. The GS grouping always smelled to me of the next Clean Energy conglomerate in NY (sort of reminds me of Con Ed in the making for alternative fuels).
Anyway, in 2008 & forward more revenue laden acquisitions (debt-free?!?) would help keep SP stable and us feeling nice; and also proven-revenue from Hacketts & other 2007 retail acquisition providing the same stabilizing effect may have Tom as a visionary, indeed doing some safekeeping with 6 million in his (our) pocket. To purchase w/o or little debt is a very nice thing.
And note, it may take some time to show and also needs to be consistent (2 plus quarters green) that Hacketts & 2007 acquisitions reflect positively onto the share price. A domino effect would have to take place per acquisition. Otherwise, logical debts / deterrents (store yielding red, subsidiary expansions, creating private labels, etc., can't forecast on that one). Mayber overall, he is building a platform for diversification under SWVC or SWC, with GS, retail and who knows what else. If it's all good then the 6million will be well spent. The best position for folks right now is those who came in on 00; and a very low 0; otherwise .... wellll....
So... Tom either has an excellent holiday gift for us which will move the SP upward and boost confidence until business developments speak for themselves and prove him to be as sharp and clean as many here claim. We can't live on hope or hype forever. I would suppose this is how it should play out. Noh?
