I feel the same way. How did we get here... invested in a company that has no product, not even a prototype? I am not ready to throw in the towel, but I feel misled by someone. If anyone has read any of my posts in the past, I know that I will sound redundant, but I just don't get what JD was referring to when he said he was dying to put out a PR and that it would be worth the wait for shareholders. I do not doubt that he said those things to Sho, so why did he say them if there is no product, just unproven ideas as he himself has said. I really am getting close to selling, even at a loss. How can there not be a prototype? How can he be doing the prototyping in-house if the Carleton project is still ongoing? What happened to the 'partners'? What happened to the NDAs? Why put out a PR about expedited timelines but say nothing about what the timelines are?
The other thing I feel like I need to get off my chest is that, while it is commonly stated that JD does not put out PRs to affect share price or to affect shareholder concerns. But the PR regarding the NDAs was put out, clearly in my mind, to calm the fears of all shareholders that the company was going to fail due to the failure of the Hoss deal. It was put out on the same day (or within a day or so I believe) of the announcement of the failure of the Hoss deal. The fact that NOTHING has been said since about the NDAs only adds to my suspicion that the PR was premature at best.
I own a lot of shares, so I am not bashing. I want this stock to soar. I even still think it might. But, my frustration is becoming overwhelming and I may sell and move on. One more PR telling us how much SYMW has NOT done (because that is what I have gotten out of the last few PRs... that SYMW is not even close to being at the stage that I believe we were led to believe they were), and I think I am gone.
We need specifics... period... end of story.
