Al - Not sure what to say beyond the old Ronald Reagan motto - trust but verify! It is up to each of us to do their own due diligence and it seems there are many who choose to rely on someone else's rantings pro or con. Frankly, I choose to do my own homework not to imply you have not. At the end of the day, I am as concerned as much as anyone regarding the state of affairs at FASC. As you say, the last three years have not been what was expected. However that is not due to a lack of trying on the part of Brian and the companies and individuals he has aligned himself with.
Something I always consider in my self-deliberations about an investment is in part the companies' history, but more their future prospects. As it regards FASC one needs to simply ask does the company have a future and if so what does it look like? Since Brian has been far too quiet publicly I can only make that deduction based on what I can find out via Internet searches ( and a lot of network/database rummaging) and calling people that might have some piece of the puzzle. Overall my conclusion is there are sales in the pipeline. I don't believe it will end up with runaway sales in the near-term and I am unable to predict anything mid or long-term at this point. I do know there is a very large potential worldwide for KDS sales in conjunction with processes like QL's. For instance, there are more than 440 palm oil mills in Malaysia. If QL or FASC/M is successful in getting just 10% of those mills to convert to their process the number of KDSs needed could exceed 80 machines.
As I noted earlier I don't know what the mid or long-term will be for FASC. For me though I am willing to see a few more card dealt before leaving the game.
Fwiw,
