Your quote: "NO. Real contracts for real revenue that is defined in magnitude and time? NO. Agreements with real, mature and performing companies?".
I disagree with you
I see the point you are trying to make but I believe it to be an EXTREMELY pessimistic view.
Your quote:
If there was actually ANYTHING of value that the potential "equity investors" see leading to the "improving offers" you suggest then why has Tom not been able to attract ANY traditional debt financing??
My answer:
...Reminds me of when Mike Tyson started his boxing career...
You saw/heard statements like "Sure hes got a great record, But he hasn't fought anyone substantial"...Given a few short months, the very people that had made those statements were eating their words as Mike shortly became known as one of the most ferocious knock-out kings of all time.
Perhaps you don't follow boxing....or perhaps you don't like the analogy, but none the less, it surely fits.
Instead of constantly focusing on the messy and necessary footsteps that Tom has taken (in earnest) to get this thing out of OTC land (with MONSTER deals in the making all the while) ... Lets focus on his resume (which is stellar) and his previous track record while keeping THIS in mind...
We are talking about a man who has worked for three white house administrations...who was put in charge of billions of dollars...who was also in charge of thousands of government employees, and who still (to this day) has the top security clearances.
Does anyone really believe that Tom is traveling the globe, setting up deals and business relationships with foreign dignitaries and its all just a big con job to blow smoke up our butts??...Come on, who has that amount of time and the unlimited resources to do that??...and....baring some form of mental illness, why the hell would they want to?
