"Everything he said, his demeanor, and every press release was calculated to manipulate retail investors into buying shares. "
This is the goal of every...single...public...company.
If you think otherwise, you know not how the market operates.
Companies are formed and listed to make money for insiders and institutional investors, period.
The amount of truthfulness is simply a factor of the amount of money and time spent on keeping the real motivations out of sight of the general public.
The only reason you are able to figure this out is the minuscule size of this company and the amount of public information available.
If you spent the same amount of time deconstructing the financial origins of most other companies you would come to the same conclusions and find the same amount of players seemingly, "out to get the ignorant public's money".
In the end, of any public company, the founders and funders are the ones who bore the bulk of risk, financially and legally, while the people who read this simply gambled on the "fantasy" that all companies put forth in PR and complicated financial statements.
There has still never been any "proof" that anything below board went on here. Just conjecture and speculation as always with a heavy helping of finger pointing and blame.
The company evolved with its peers, and as we entered into a unprecedented time of hostility towards renewables in the marketplace, this company took a harder hit than most due to its size, young age.
the company is down, but it's certainly not out. If it were, you'd see the stock plummet and the institutional investment go to zero. This is not the case, and I'm betting it won't be the case either.
Tariffs only exaggerated the pain. However the price of oil is up. The mix of ACI is up, Nelson is now able to be overridden in the BOD votes. New CEO is doing well.
This company stock isn't going to zero, it's not going bankrupt. It may fall more, it may not show profits in Q1. It may need cash at some point, it may do a reverse split. It will however continue doing business, continue changing direction and focus as needed.
They only need to avoid the the split and capital raise, then show a profit regularly to really thrive and gain more attention.
RGSE is in the same boat. trading sub $1 on NASDAQ. Only they endured a much much deeper blow, from a much much higher market cap. They are worth half SUNW, have 1/3 the float and 4x the headcount. They recently announced a BS deal with DOW chemical that sent the stock soaring temporarily when they announced competition with TSLA solar roof through some defunct tech. The financials on that deal were so terrible I'm amazed they are still operating. My point again is that SUNW is no flash in the pan more than any other public company, has done nothing wrong, has never had an SEC investigation, and still has yet to have any NASDAQ listing warnings.
They have righted the ship using legitimate strategic decisions and are competing in much larger markets with much larger contracts. I've said before and as Carl reiterated, even if they get a warning, they have 6 months to get the stock over $1 which puts them in the Q318 results season. So again, even if they stay put here, and Q1 isn't profitable, (it's usually been their worst showing) as long as Q2 and Q3 are strong (again usually the case), this could easily double.
This is reality as I see it.
As for the speculative "fantasy" others engage in regarding past behaviors, it's history, speculation, conjecture, and is no longer relevant to current events here.
I suggest focusing on the here and now, trading as you see fit based on the here and now, and letting go of the grudges and fixations that have cemented some so castratingly into a narrative of demise.
