Trust me I get what everybody is saying. I would love for Kim to get this Vietnam deal done asap. But if that doesn't happen or takes years will this stock go under? IMO probably. If you are a business man and don't think out of the box your odds of making it are reduced. Heck, I think i heard this story about how Champagne was made by mistake. The winery had a bad year but did he go out of business because it wasn't perfect? no. they sold it with the bubbles and created champagne.
reputation are much more easy to destroy than they are to rebuild.
That is very true, but I think easily overcome in this case. We are talking about two different markets here. He could supply the mundane silk market using a different name other than MS or DS while still keeping those brands exclusive through Warwick. He could even start a spin off company to produce a less consistent silk. As I sure most of everyone here knows it costs a couple hundred bucks to start an LLC. There's many ways to go about it that a guy as smart as Kim could come up with if he wanted to. Instead he has kept our money for 5 years, more or less for some, all the while with these unspoken promises of a market shattering event that will come when he produces metric tons, (he's now capable) when he makes pure spider silk, ( DS is practically that) when Vietnam is done, (by end of 3rd quarter) (by end of year)(before the Tet)before... well SOON.
Maybe I should look into starting a public company. Apparently you can borrow millions of dollars and pay it back whenever you want or possibly never.
