Many investors and interested people are participants in the SMME chat room. My guess is well over 150 people...almost the number of shareholders.
Think what you will, but I see a distinction between owner and management. I've been in the stock market well over 45 years and I don't ever recall shareholders questioning management about the management of the company at a board meeting or monthly meeting. And those times when the setting is appropriate for questions to be asked by shareholders regarding the outlook and management of the company...there are times when certain questions are not given an answer.
I believe Chaya has been very clear about her reluctance to share too much information about the product and the management of the company. Disagree if you want, but I believe it is better to err on the side of being too secret with information than to let out information which may divulge too much or proprietary information. Once out in the public domain, you cannot put it back in.
I believe Chaya better understands the smart card industry and the people in the industry better than any shareholder in SMME. I, therefore, am willing to accept her management of the company. I've had some of my questions go unanswered and some responded to with "I can't tell you that." I don't cry about the nonresponse.
As for your judgement regarding Chaya, "incompetent" doesn't fit. She has taken a dream and made it a reality. She has saved the company millions of dollars by not hiring employees. All shareholders are frustrated with the slow advance of The Card going to market, Chaya included, I'm sure. But tell me, what is the timetable of bringing a dream into reality; of developing a nonexistent product and bringing it to market?
My question to the skeptics of the SMME card and Chaya is this.....WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG?
