Sounds about right, a lease in a mall is much more affordable then the size of the market 99 stores and strip malls.
I think we all have to realize people that invest or more appropriately "trade" in the pinks do so for very different reasons.
That is what I think has brought out the anger in a lot of people (and myself I raise my hand in guilt at times).
When we take a step back and really look why people are taking stabs at one another it has to do with one bottom line. Most or all of us are in the red and some deep red.
It is never something personal against people's opinions and how they choose to express themselves.
What bothers me is calls for "boycotts" "ban on buying" "no one is buying this" "red flags and codes" "your an idiot", etc.
We are all in these type of stocks for basically one reason, to make a profit at some point. Some look within the day to make a profit, some are waiting for years to see how it all plays out.
And I also know that anyone that has experience in the pinks have probably encountered one, some, or many dilution machines, r/s, bad Ceo's, etc. I myself have been the victim of and might be the victim again on this one, but what I have always said is, it is my choice. I will never tell anyone to buy, or not buy or to sell and when to sell. And in my opinion no one should.
Why?
Stocks in this land (and in general) go up for absolutely no reason. They go down for what seems to be no reason. Some stay dormant. Some trade on strickly momentum.
This stock, like any stock, can go up and down with "transparency" and guess what it can also do the same with "perceived transparency"
It can go up and down with the announcement of news or store openings.
It can up and down with buybacks or financial agreements prior to being announced to the public.
It can be traded on charts.
If you are trader, you might put in now, and be happy with a 100% return.
The next trader, might find actual stores opening, there reason to stay in.
The next trader might see more transparency and decide to invest.
And so on and so on.
There is so much information in the IBOX, there are so many points of view on the board which is a GREAT thing, but I just ask everyone to realize the goal is to at some point make a profit on the actual stock.
At the end of the day, some really want the actual company to succeed. To learn from mistakes they have made, currently make, and will make in the future.
Others, and some that are taking daily pot shots at the BOD, any delays of store openings, and snide comments, I can almost guarantee you could care less and will care less about stores, delays, and the lack of or ultimate success of the company, once they hit that sell button and walk away with that profit or loss.
Let's remember to not take all this too personal and learn to love the important things in our daily life, and take the risks and rewards outcome of "placing your bet" when you did.
I truly wish the best for everyone.
