JFF7, some real thought behind that post.
To carry it a little further I would suggest that the shareholders make up a Rubik's Cube with a three axle gyro inside.
You have the axle you suggested: one end first category, other end second category. The next axle would be traders on one end and investors on the other. (Traders in for less than two years, investors long term). The third axle would be deep pockets on one end and no pockets on the other.
Of course the center of the cube, in the heart of the gyro, is the place to be. From there one can work outward to solve the cube. There is a web of friendships and acquaintances stretching quite extensively outward from each axle that make the actual web of relationships. Without skewing the web too much I believe that the center is quite strong, and information flows freely along all three axis as one moves out from the center.
Friends of management are constantly harangued by many, while at the same time crying and whining constantly that they are not welcomed and told nothing. LOL. Kind of like saying I hate you because you are pretty, rich, and make good grades!!! Now, will you go to the prom with me??? It was so annoying that an invitation only group was formed. PMC became even more imbittered when her application was rejected!
Most people I know are proud to be friends of Richard and the other professionals that we are fortunate to have on our board. Many of us have done very well in the past when the stock was selling for less than a nickle for several years. Should we be sorry because we were alerted early and came to the party with sufficient funds to make a difference? Should we be sorry that the company has been good for us and that we are well aware of what is now transpiring? I think not!
In the end, it takes money to make money, and those that have resources usually do very well. Just a fact of life. Will the share price soar to a dollar or crash to five cents??? Who is to say?? I can only tell you that the involved, informed, and financially secure will do well in either circumstance. No spin required...just the facts of life in the real world. Hope that everyone makes money...even the trolls...but history tells me that it will not work out that way. It never does!!
