I don't feel that WNBD is a 'start-up' company in the true sense. It is referred to in some places as an 'emerging public company'. People seem to forget that it has essentially been around for a while e.g.'Niagara Mist'.
Why don't people state outright what the salary is? Did I read somewhere $125,000 per annum? In the area where Eric resides that is an EXTREMELY basic number. Hell, lots of teachers take that home. Is it necessary to call it a 'six figure salary' in an effort to make it sound huge?
Someone here asked for opinions, so I am saying that this idea is WAY out of line and frankly an arrogant thing to challenge our CEO with; a CEO who is progressive and full of integrity.
Perhaps you should ask his family what they think of this clever plan. Remember, they are living on his salary.
It has been said over and over that this is a LONG stock and I firmly believe that. It would be an insult to use ones share count ownership as leverage to put pressure on the CEO to use his salary to drive up the PPS just so a few flippers can line their pockets.
