To answer some of your questions, i too have had trouble getting answers from TATF to many questions that I have emailed them. Some emails were largely ignored, and what I consider pertinant information was never given. Maybe they really were having trouble with their email server, for my emails that were at all questioning of ... facts, published facts, whatever. All answers I receive from TATF are never any new information beyond what is given on the website. Since I believe the website is lacking in some important areas... I was trying to get answers, and didn't get anything pertinant. I think that if we have a forum here that SBRUNNER actively participates in, we need to encourage SBRUNNER to continue posting here so we actually *MIGHT* be able to get information that we feel is relevant. So my intention on this forum is to not drive SBRUNNER away but encourage him to come back to keep lines of communcation open. So, I post my questions here, in hopes to get a reponse.
Ok, some numbers, so RALEO has paid out $850K in distributions... AVERAGING $57k, ok, BUT BUT BUT, if we get REAL numbers, ie maybe they gave $10k the first year, and $200k last year, a huge increase in % distributions each year, but we can't get those numbers if SBRUNNER leaves this forum. or is chased away, or whatever.
2 million trees... lets say 1 million are planted for harvest, and 200k of those are teak. lets say 500k total are for customers, at $35/tree then the numbers don't quite come out like you might think, $16 mill over 15 years.... AVERAGE about 1 mil/yr. these numbers make more sense to me, but I'd like SBRUNNER to confirm these on this forum. rather than in an email to me.
Ok, Raleo's pieces, yes, just a few things that I have seen online or whereever look like really nice pieces... very $$. obviously this doesn't help distributions, and they do need higher volume stuff to come up with $$ for distributions... who knows whether this'll happen or not... but I think investors kinda need to know more about the plan to ramp Raleo.. to a point where they can support as much boardfootage as they claim. I know there is inconsistency there, I just want more details of the hangups and the plan for getting Raleo ramped. I know that some here don't think its possible, before making that conclusion, I want to see a plan from Raleo/SBRUNNER, and then judge.
Someone mentioned ebay earlier, so I was thinking, so if you really feel that this is a bad investment, post your trees on ebay.... I might bid. :)
