I too have had numerous discussions with Mr. Vasker through email. I also feel confident in the company...
As for dropping from .02 to these levels, you CANNOT just say that because of the decrease the company is dumping shares...
Before this stock ran to .02 it was sitting at .0019 - Following your logic, since the PPS can ONLY drop due to dillution, then a buyback HAD to take place.
That was not the case causing the run, nor is dillution the case for causing the pullback.
The TA was gagged because they were being inundated with phone calls and emails on an hourly basis, EVERY day.
Mr. Vasker and his management team decided to gag the TA and let the work speak for itself. Being an armchair quarterback is so easy. What this team is trying to accomplish is not.
You will see this stock balloon again, and soon. When the CSD deal is announced, it officially brings more than $3.3 MILLION dollars PER YEAR in revenue to ARTI. Do the math and you can figure that the current PPS is a joke and will spike.
One last point, the CSD acquisition is now common knowledge. There is nothing Mr. Vasker has to fear in talking about something that is, common knowledge, as this is NOT insider info.
A copy of Mr. Vasker's email that he sent me over the weekend is copied/pasted below. Pretty clear on why the TA is gagged...
"Chris, I cannot control what the investors will do. They are entitled to taking profits, or if they are scared, sell and move on to other deals. Our management and Island stock transfer are inundated with calls, emails and inquiries.
For example, early on we got calls because our shares were hard to get. Then we got calls because people wanted to voice their opinion over every detail and management decision. I've been called every name in the book, as well as slandered by some traders.
So, the management CHOSE to keep a low profile and let our Pr, attorneys and accountants keep things in check. I'm sure that for some it's easy to second guess us. But to us, this is a project that I've been driving and funding for over 8 years, so I have plenty of patience.
In fact, in my opinion, we are just now starting to trade. So, I will continue to focus on our core business and increase revenue and profit. The future will show that we have a very unique plan and the management has a true proven track record for this business. Thank you again for the support."
