FWIW: Kurt Cockrum returned a phone call message I left about a week ago. I'll do my best to convey the substance of the conversation. Let me say that I'm a new investor in DMPD and hold 500k shares. I have been very pleased with my own DD but wanted to talk to someone from the company. In no particular order I'll tell you what I found out. 1.) Mr. Cockrum comes across as sincere and honest, but what do I know. 2.) He returned my call after my message was about a week old. I'm not sure what that indicates, but I think it's probably good. 3.) He was careful not to violate any insider rules and was diplomatic. 4.) He thinks that the stock was initially valued too high by the MM's at around 60 cents. The little company could not sustain that value and at some point panic selling took over and now the stock is where it is. He was sure to tell me that he, too, is an investor in the company and that he's sure things will get better 5.) The peak fishing season begins around March (I think that's what he said), so dealers should start stocking their shelves around January. 6.) He said, "We are a real company and we're here to stay." 7.) He said they were excited about things currently in the pipeline and that we, as investors, would be made aware of them in due time. He was very careful with his words but it was obvious to me that he was "signaling" to me that good things are coming our way and we won't be disappointed if we exercise a little more patience. And finally, 8.) He pointed out (very correctly, IMO) that he's not there to pander to day traders looking for false or misleading PR's to give them their little pop-run. He said he's sorry if some folks thought the recent PR was fluff. He said it was not fluff and is an accurate accounting of recent company efforts and developments and that more news would be coming as the details of the current PR unfold. And, once again, he said more news would be forthcoming about other matters.
On a personal note, I've spoken to 4 or 5 penny stock CEO's and this one, I believe, is honest and is running a real business. But what do I know. I'm gonna be patient and let this company prove itself. BTW, I didn't waste my time asking about the Wal Mart deal because I know he can't say anything. Good luck and do your own DD. I also should add that I've used my own words here to convey the conversation to you. Good luck.
