Sorry, but there is another scenario that many of us have endured ... that story begins with disappointments galore in February and then the old tale is replaced with another.
I agree that the predictions of the future need to be kept simple and that positive activity takes hard work not mystical powers. A little more transparency wouldn't hurt however.
My scenario (concocted a while ago) predicts that the February you are citing happens not in 2018 but rather 2019.
I HOPE like heck I'm wrong but given my track record of disappointments in the stock market it may not be as wild eyed as I initially believed. IMO Li divides his time amongst many business interests and he has delegated the bulk of the LQMT development to his surrogates. Many of them are holdovers and that does lend itself to some scrutiny over his decisions.
Chung is gone (?), or is he ?, Bromage was never viewed as a real go getter on this message board by some who professed to know, Hauck was touted as an expert who would surly bring in some production contracts, and on and on and on I suppose. Why did Li not clean the whole house with some young guns who were hungry ... that is a real open question at this point.
