These are the rules that are currently in play to the best of my knowledge.
Increase shareholder value in the long-term.
Increase the appeal of our common stock to a greater number of investors and funds.
Provide the Company liquidity for future growth and acquisitions.
Provide shareholders with improved trading liquidity.
Increase the ability of AMEP to attract and retain Key Executives and Employees.
Assist the Company with a move to a national exchange listing such as the NASDQ Small Cap or American Stock Exchange
Now I understand that some things are needed to keep "mum" about, but there's plenty out there to feed the masses.
The alternative is to build a reputation of not following through on promises to investors. How anyone can see the successful relationship between what is stated as goals and commitment to investors and the reality of the situation as it currently exists is beyond me and evidently beyond the scope of sensibilities to other longs as well. A responsible CEO would respond to that sentiment as the conflict of the ideologly/reality settle in. As longs, we didn't create this antagonistic relationship. We have supported the BDC and the long break in news, taken it on the chin with the R/S, waiting for precious little news, and still down 80% on investments...some a little less...some much more. At what point do you pick up the phone and say enough is enough or at least vent on a public message board? People showing up on the doorfront should send quite a message.
Many on this board have relied heavily on your DD, and I for one very much appreciate it. I have although noticed a few more riddles and rhymes from your corner as of late, and I think folks have had more than their share of the dark humor which has only been exacerbated by the reflection of this company in their individual accounts. I think patience has understandably drawn a little thin around here, and so I urge those folks that have an inside line to express that to the folks who can do something about it rather than turn this place into an alley for the cats to fight in.
WE all (myself included) need to take ANOTHER deep breath....but I don't feel like that's our place at this point...I feel some reciprocity on the part of CB is long overdue. I think your callous response ....if you don't like it...sell!...is really beyond the scope of what folks are looking for or expect from you having equally contributed to the belief in this company.
I understand that venting here doesn't change much. But it might change the attitude of one or any number of longs to attempt to move our CEO in a direction that holds shareholders in some regard. Clearly, that is a message shared by many posters, and it should be responsibly dealt with.
Appreciate the DD contractor.....
Good luck to all of us
