JT, also, if your DD hasn't included this already, please call Mr. Floyd.
He's a CEO who actually picks up the phone. He wants constructive input while he forges through this particularly critical period of Bourque's path.
Since Bourque is still in development stage, and there are multiple revenue paths they have open to them, there may be posters/ board members here who have technical experience greater than Mr. Floyd's in bringing these types of products to market, or who have expertise in navigating the dicey waters of public company compliance and legal matters.
Although there's no guarantee he would automatically adopt suggestions, he definitely listens.
Remember this first and foremost. Mr. Floyd was a shareholder first, and wouldn't be at Bourque today if he hadn't been a shareholder who saw 2 things.
First: A company with a real product line with incredible potential....I spent 3 hours the other night going back over hundreds of news/ posts and other memory joggers related to markets they are / were investigating/ exploring. Over 25 different applications popped up.
Second: A company that was struggling with a myriad of real difficulties, that needed immediate help.
I'm not painting him as a "white knight", at least not yet. Clearly there's a profit motive for him.....if there wasn't I wouldn't want him in the position in the first place.
He will need scores of assistance, months or hopefully years of 14 hour days and loads of good luck to pull this company off given the minefield he inherited last week.
But some pretty good minds think he and his crew can do it.
And I'm very gratified you took the time for a second look.
I have no problems with those that buy and sell stocks short term to make money. It's a business like any other, and obviously a lucrative one for many.
I just hate to see real people get pummeled unfairly because of short term focus alone, without there being a shred of evidence beyond supposition. Criticisms/ concerns are valid, unfounded , uninvestigated personal and professional attacks cross the line.
Similarly, if there are any other less than honest folks hanging around Bourque's headquarters now, I'd want to know sooner than later. There's been entirely too much personnel drama which has sandbagged this company for far too long.
I speak for multiple other long investors here who have simply had enough of the cast of less than professional characters who have come and gone over the past 24 months. I believe Mr. Floyd feels similarly.
One more incident with key players having questionable skeletons and or questionable motives will cause investor / shareholder / financial repercussions which will effectively end the ability of Bourque to function in my estimation.
Mr. Floyd sees this. He also reads this board. And ultimately he's made of the stock that does the "right thing".
I welcome comments
Thanks, Mike
