Few in your life will ever live up to your standards if you feel it is better to be judgmental of others with less time, knowledge, experience or sophistication.
It is always better to help others rise and continue on your own personal path as a leader, then to feel better about yourself by knocking others down.
There is never a stupid question when one decides they have a need to ask it. Character is shown in how one answers it or chooses not to.
Viking is an enigma. It's been around for years with middling success and disappointments. Now they are betting the company's future on a new product before they know there is a demand for it. If a big medical product manufacturer thought Viking's product and patents were the best, and there was a demand for it, they would scoop up the company. Maybe the Clinton Group is the first indication that it's a real possibility it might happen. The U.S. market that seemingly can afford it the most, seems to be the least interested. I wonder why? If the U.S. distributors aren't getting the job done, fire them at the first contractually allowable moment, and bringing in a distributor that can get it done. If their geographic territory is too vast for them to be effective, reallocate the geography. U.S. distributors should be selling more systems than all other distributors. If the product is "that good" and a major surgical benefit, then sales should be ramping up in a big way. If doctors are looking at the product with positive buying inclinations, they should be buying the stock as well, as should the distributors. Given the share price and ease to purchase big stakes, people who should know better about the opportunities are "voting" with their money by not getting involved. After 9 months of demonstrations, there should be a few thousand people who have been exposed one way or another to the company and its products. If some of them were believers, 3-D sales should be ramping up fast and so should trading volume. What's puzzling is that if the product is so good, why are so few taking notice? Progress seems so slow now that the product is being demonstrated. Will hundreds of buyers wake up in the next 12 months, or is the 3-D product being reviewed as pretty ho-hum?
