Huff, I feel your pain. I have become increasingly convinced that management's seeming intransigence about running this business as a public company with shareholders/co-owners is a prelude to taking the company private.
I support my assertion on the basis of several pieces of information. The first is that management knows the company is in better shape than it has been in years yet has done virtually nothing to publicize it.
The second is that the company must have spent years to find an IR partner who could do so little with so much material. It's sheer genius.
Third, the company continues to outwardly show that it is only marginally competent in the performance of routine duties. Financial reports are always made public on the last possible day, even if that day is a Friday night and the news is good.
Fourth, management pushed for a 50:1 RS knowing it would virtually eliminate all trading. The little trading that might happen would be sells from frustrated shareholders. With no PR to support the stock, even the few sells would drag the price down encouraging more people, life our friend Huff, to want to throw in the towel.
Fifth, the company's marketing may be improved, but still has miles to go. Let's say I wanted to learn more about molecular cooking, an area that IVFH has a product line to accommodate. Where's the starter kits? Where is the package deal with a book, recipes, chemicals, etc? Doesn't exist. I, for one, believe this is by design. Too much good news is bad for a LBO. I refuse to believe any other possible reason is valid.
Wait for it. If they tank earnings in Q2 or Q3, you know we are close. No one runs an organization like this without a reason to do so. I believe we will see that reason become clear in the coming quarters.
