Hello everyone, I am going to keep it to ALCD (dont want to be off topic) :). As disclosed, I own 40 K shares and have had some communication with Sylvain (CEO of ALCD) directly. I have also done extensive DD on the company and the CEO. I feel confident this company will be a phenom. I have also disclosed there were mutual associates between the CEO and myself. I have never received a penny or a penny stock for my posts, DD, recommendations, comments or defense of the company...I know it will pain all of you to hear this but this is my last public post and/or comments on ALCD. After some time relaxing and talking with the family I have come to a decision. I have been offered a position as of 6/4/09 with Alco as VP of Finance. I plan to accept this position only under the following conditions. I will be an unpaid corporate officer. I will maintain my current position in the stock and will only accept performance based stock awards only after the first 12 months are evaluated. I want to make it very clear; I did not need nor want employment. Now to all who wonder if my commitment and belief in the company is real. Also, to the person who asked if I was a pumper....
……….Hear is the answer.
I believe in this company enough to:
- Downgrade my 6 hrs. a day of trading at approx. $250 K annual profit for the last 2 years. I will be reduced to a few boring option plays each month.
- Give up the joy of walking my 6 yr old to school every morning.
- Tucking my kids in every night
- Take time away from my best friend in the world (my wife)
- Spend weeks on the road every quarter
- Meet with politicians, bankers and attorneys in places I am not so sure an old country boy belongs
- Learn some new languages....OH... btw Sylvain speaks 5 and English is not his first (the PR grammatical errors we were b!tching about....)
For what you ask????
- The Money? Well only if I can make a successful go of it but I have enough money, more will just take care on future generations.
- The fun? Yes I do think it will be another chapter of interest in my life
- The challenge? Yes of course it is a challenge and I thrive on it
- I hate to give up the freedom but have discussed it thoroughly with my wife and children...
(Maybe they are thrilled with the prospect of me not being home as much)
- The main reason is.......I know how this will turn out. I want to be a part of it. I believe in it..... It will make a difference in this world and make it safer for my children... I want my kids to be proud of their father and realize, just because they succeed does not mean they have to stop challenging themselves. I can no longer share my opinions of the company because they would now be considered more than opinions....I wish you all the best....I look forward to reading your rants about my performance or lack thereof. :) You are all welcome to chew my a$$ when you feel it is needed...I now work for you the shareholders and will do all in my power to be an asset to the company....Thank you

BTW I have a funny feeling there may be PR next week. (LAST POST)
