Few things could be more irrelevant to the discussion than Kaye's skin tone.
You continue to talk about investing in the business but completely ignore the fact that often, only 50% at best of your capital when buying the stock even goes to the business. At best, at times it is even worse depending on market pricing. Terrible methods of raising capital are being used, one could argue that the usage of capital raised could have been much more efficient than it has been as well. Still, stating that you are investing in the business, not the stock is rather ridiculous when the only way you can invest in the business is through the stock of the company, stock, that, until those notes are cleared out, is discounted substantially with only a portion of your money ever reaching the company...
I do hope that other methods are utilized and that we'll see evidence of such in the 10-Q filing that should be out very soon.
