Subs,
You have finally come to the dark side. It's nice to have company.
I am a small business owner, and as a business owner, you can strive to create profitability while minimizing lucrative salaries and internal greed or you can absorb cash flow and be a slob with the bottom line. You need to prove your integrity and ability to investors without greed. Growth expenses clearly play a huge part in your financial health as well, yet should be offset with applicable revenue and near term profit pertaining to those expenses. YGYI appears to be growing yet no interest exists from the street...why?
No one here needs an Economics 101 class, but the investment world is fearing this stock for obvious reasons. My belief is that they don't feel they can trust the founder and/or CEO. He holds far too much control and can take this company any direction he so chooses with the power of his shelved shares. There is a pyramid mentality here, and it speaks volume to me that the clones that work for this company will not spend their own money at these levels to accumulate shares while they participate in the "u rah rah" sales rallies. The mother ship must look unstable from the inside, otherwise there would be plenty of sustainable volume here, which there clearly is not. Smoke and mirrors...book cooking....coffee bags filled with illegal herbs(joking of course), who knows. I'm getting the feeling that a few will become rich, while the masses suffer the loss. Fortune capitalism through misdirection. Internal rewards seem to be what drives this company, rather than being looked at as a growth investment opportunity. My two cents as it's the only thing that makes sense at this point.
I will continue to wait and see as this has become my crap shoot holding for the next couple of years.
