OT: SCKT: Candidate for the Board of Directors? I'm looking for someone to be on the Board of Directors of Socket Mobile, SCKT. I'm serious. I know this company doesn't qualify for this board anymore for discussion, but it's off hours and I thought I'd reach out to the microcap world because it's not often any of us can truly influence a company. I have the votes to cumulate and then put someone onto the Board of Directors of SCKT to watch over management for me and help them with ideas. I did it last year and put a marketing specialist on there (who owns over 100K shares of the company), but this year I'm looking for someone with a strong technology resume. You do NOT have to be a shareholder. I just want someone who can give them ideas, perform their fiduciary requirement to protect shareholders and be truly independent in their decisions.
And, yeah, the company is going to survive. I've tracked scanner sales levels in January (a historically weak month) already starting at levels that were at the peak season last summer. The "big" van line order for scanners got delayed from Dec 31rst and is expected to start to play out in Feb-May 1rst (the start of the moving season). Ingram Micro distributor (who is coordinating the order), just got 1000 7ci scanners in stock in the last 2 days and so it should start to roll out soon. The idea is that each of the 7000 trucks will need a scanner. They are hiring a "Director of Communications Management" with a required 8+ years of experience because, I assume, they actually have a story to start to tell soon about the scanners and their partners.
The Somo side of the business sucks as usual though.
Please don't use any of the above info to actually buy the stock. I don't recommend it to anyone until it actually starts to truly come together better. I just post it to let someone know that there really is a business developing so if they are (or know) someone who would like to be on the Board, then reach out to me. I'm serious. Someone with a strong resume related to technology would be the best, especially if it relates to barcode scanners, or PDAs, or mobile technology, tablet point of sale, you get the idea. Someone with connections in the tech world. Or someone with a strong finance related resume. Something that would benefit a public company like them and help shareholders.
I communicate with over 20% of the shareholders and can cumulate them for certain and I will guarantee you a spot on the Board. I did it last year and want to do it again this year.
Please contact me personally (and not clutter up this great stock board) at iHub or at southacres@yahoo.com
