wow, snake. not sure where to begin on that...
re: "who cares if Mark misunderstood the timeframe in which the approval happens, the end result is what is most important."
the core question is whether you can take anything Mark says at face value.
ignoring the 2010 "no need to RS, and would tell you before i did" fiasco,
simply consider his track record of this year:
• back in March-April, Mark said we were weeks away from a completed audit.
• back in July, Mark said we were "1-2 days away" from a completed audit.
3 months later, we finally have the audit.
major sigh of relief. :-)
but given these data points, do you feel comfortable believing:
• any timeline Mark quotes for FINRA approving 211?
• any timeline Mark quotes for ST film production?
• any timeline Mark quotes for WS post production?
(WS was going to be complete in 2011, right?)
personally, i'm very happy to see the form 10 filed.
it's a major step forward in credibility for me.
and i do feel the 211 has a decent shot at approval, given the form 10.
and that ST has a decent shot at reaching production within 2 years.
but, given the track record,
imo, it's simply not prudent to take any timeline projection quoted by Mark at face value.
