Agreed. It would be a great thing to have juicy news to drive us up before the R/S. We really don't know exactly what Jim is planning as we only have a few of the puzzle pieces. We only know he is actively fitting the pieces together. The rest is speculation.
I just keep coming back to the same point. I said it before but I believe Jim has the best interests of the company in mind. If you don't believe that, you're going to be in for a potentially shaky ride. Things you can see don't always make sense taken out of the larger, concealed context. There's way more going on behind the scenes than we properly can speculate on at this point. We simply don't have enough information yet to KNOW how how things will unfold this year and in the future.
Best to invest in solid management. However things play out, news before or after the R/S, I'm confident that's what I've done with SLTD. This is going to be a great year for us.
