markrhead -- I agree with you that maybe 95% or higher of IR firms provide little if any value added to Companies which retain them... And more often than not actually harm the companies which retain them through aggressive and unethical business practices...
HOWEVER -- The issue is finding the 5% or less of IR firms which value integrity, honesty, openness, transparency, and conservative projections or guidance... There are a few -- precious few -- which do fit that bill... But they do exist...
I think this Company could benefit from such a conservative IR firm... Management may not have time to present at many investor conferences and could use backup assistance in follow-up if they do... And the IR firm could be a productive additional resource for wealthy investors interested in learning more about the Company relating to the partnerships which MKGP will be seeking to establish in the future as another source of alternative financing... Management will not have unlimited time to answer the questions of such potential investors all the time... And best to have someone available at all times to provide timely and accurate information on the Company for new and potential shareholders and investors...
NO overpromising... NO spamming... NO hype... NO fluff press releases...
IMO -- A high quality IR firm would be a valuable addition for providing a wider audience in the financial and investment community a contact source for information on the Company and opportunities for investment...
Best of luck.
