Hey Samroux, you do bring up a lot of good points about Chris' post, but I have a few concerns of my own.
For example you said
How do we know that Bob wasn't/isn't unhappy about it? I am willing to bet that he is very unhappy about it. As for it being a good thing, I don't take it like that. I think perhaps Bob was looking for something good in a bad situation when he said “The good side is we have to get all these notes converted and out of the system (anyway).” .. which is of course true. However, what you said about buying back the notes does make sense. I would have preferred that.
You also bring up a good point:
I am concerned about this one myself. Maybe sign the LOI and take over the company, generate some income, and then maybe a year or so later start the buy back but I don't see them both happening any time soon. The money just is not there to do both at this time.
And finally:
I don't think you should single out just Bob with this, as a good investor will question everything. I have seen other stocks where a CEO says one thing and does another. Unfortunately is fairly common. I have learned that it simply isn't true until its in writing. It would do Bob some good to post a link to something in writing about the stock buy back, the agreement for no reverse split, the agreement to freeze the notes, or the LOI for the $15M company instead of just telling us about it. I would absolutely buy this stock if that happened.
My overall point? Validate, dont speculate. I own share here too.
