Jugy, despite what you may think, we get your points here. It's not like we all turn a blind eye to the things you bring up and pretend they don't happen. But here's where we part company...
The points you made are looking at TDGI through a suspicious viewpoint. I too am always suspicious of any pink sheet company. I'd be lying if I said there weren't times in my investment in TDGI - or any other pink sheet stock - where I've questioned what is happening. It can't be ignored that Eric and Fred have put dates out there and missed them... and more than one time at that. But with those missed deadlines did not come dilution. There was no end game there of share selling, it's just simply mistakes from ambitious guys doing their best as they're growing a newly public company. The difference for me is I personally run a company. Granted, it's not a public theatrical company, but a company nonetheless. I have clients I deal with, staff I manage and deadlines I have to try to accomplish. With the very best intentions, I've learned in my nearly 10 years of running a successful company that I often can't hit the mark even when I give it my all. Some things are simply out of my control. But I always make good on my word. That's the conclusion I've come to with Eric and Fred. The first year was bumpy with obvious missteps by the company. But there were a good measure of successes too. Importantly, rather than play the blame game, every time they've screwed up they've owned up to it. And even better, they've done a fairly good job at making adjustments to prevent some of the same mistakes from happening over and over again. What more can you ask for from a pink sheet company? While none of us like it when a CEO of a public company misses a deadline or doesn't deliver exactly what they shoot for, what matters most down here in the wild west is whether the end game is dilution and scam or not. So far they've proven worthy of keeping a sizable investment for me. I'm willing to give Eric and Fred chances to make the TDGI business model succeed as long as there are personal, measured benchmarks of improvement and success for me. So far they have done just that. TDGI seems like this may just be the company that once the ball gets rolling, it won't stay around these parts too long. So while I hear all your negative points, I simply have vetted TDGI to my satisfaction and am more than comfortable continuing to support the company with my investment.
Am I expecting to become an overnight millionaire by investing in TDGI? Not at all... though I'd be lying if I said I hoped it didn't happen. After all, that's why we're all here, to make money. This seems to be an extremely legitimate company in a sea of deceptive, horrible companies that are out for nothing more than a quick buck at the expense of unsuspecting shareholders. So far that's not been the case with TDGI at all. Missteps, yes. Scam, no. That shareholder meeting gave Eric and Fred more credibility than the 2008-2009 audit ever could. The fact that they took the time, spent the money and laid things out the way they did showed me that they are serious and are in this to make TDGI successful, not to get rich quick and move on. Now, I want to see that audit too, but after hearing their explanation, I fully understand what the delay was and is and am willing to continue to wait for a seemingly irrelevant audit at this point. There are so many more positive things going on with TDGI now that it's unproductive to stay focused on the things they haven't accomplished yet. So long as they're working towards them and not scamming us behind the scenes, I'm okay to wait. It's apparent after that shareholder meeting that a very important corner has been turned with this company. My two cents...
