Dotting the i's and crossing the t's is probably the most important aspect of this startup companies current phase. If that isn't done up front there won't be time to complete the proofing after the cats out of the bag. Do I like the silence? Not particularly but I think I understand why. Steve undertook a project that is in my mind a monumental task, taking an idea to reality. At this point in time I'm sure there are going to be questions about brick and mortar. I know if I was going to research the company I would ask to see the facility and product. I did just that over two years ago before I invested my money, only it was a lab and prototype in progress and faith in their conviction to deliver. The difference now is its going to be to a whole different audience with a different agenda. Once the silence is broken and the cats out of the bag a lot changes the picture as you look at it. You have got to have addressed many of the details that you need time to think through, like what's the warranty on the product? What is the pro-rated return rate if it fails earlier than expected. My car battery just died had a 3 year free replacement warranty and 8 year pro-rated return the next 8 years. Luckily a cell went bad within the 3 years and it was a full replacement for free. Steve has to address about a thousand more of those type issues and have answers when asked. Think about being the buyer of the solar panels alone, will you take back older product if I upgrade to your new version that has a higher efficiency? How do I dispose of these panels safely at the end of their useful life. Is there even a safety concern associated with the product, if so what do I need to know about handling them? Where can I find the MSDS on your product? And on and on the questions have to have answers before you jump out of the birthday cake yelling surprise. The last thing you want to do is jump out and be in your birthday suit. Without having the answers would be a little embarrassing. Getting all those answers RIGHT the first time as best you can requires silence to be able to think through the thought process successfully. I don't see having the time to do that after news breaks with this company. I imagine Steve and company will be very busy taking phone calls from newspaper, magazine writers, news men and women, TV personnel all trying to get a scoop or more info about the company and seeing the brick and mortar. Being the sole developer without a complement of staff to do your research and work up the best solution or provide options to choose from has to be taxing on you and extremely time consuming. So if this takes a little longer than we think it should ask yourself how many documents did you generate today that will be the platform for the future growth of a company. Not to mention just creating a document like the 10Q or 10K and then reading through it to make sure before you sign it, it isn't misrepresenting or misleading. It all takes a lot of time and since he is only human and not a quantum computer generating instantaneous answers and documents, I'll wait till they think the time is right to publicize the progress of Quantum Materials Corp and Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. so others too can "SEE THE LIGHT" and buy the products or realize they too can invest in this company.
Another day closer.
