My point was simply that shareholders, large and small, have the right and responsibility to voice their pleasure or their concerns about the way the company is being run. Simple. End of thought.
"The day to day operations of Torvec are best left to management"
I personally don't take such a 'blind devotion' approach any longer. Read the WSJ article posted early this week about CEO honesty with their Board of Directors. Somebody has got to be watching or at least providing feedback to managment. If you are content leaving your investment on "auto-pilot' forever, that's your decision, Dino.
I would feel much better about doing just that if there was a track record of success with the current technologies under the Torvec incorporation. Yes there was success many decades ago in commercializing the Torsen but Torvec didn't do that and the planet is a very different place today than it was back then. If the history of the commercialization of the Torsen counts, than the history thus far of Torvec should also. You can read the history of 1998 thru 2002 strategic thought in last night's 10-K posts.
We are well, well beyond the "18 months" that it took to negotiate the Torsen deal with Audi. The 18-months was brought up the last couple of Shareholder meetings as illustrative of how long it can take to pull a deal together. Ten years works out to 120 months. If we are any closer, I'd like to learn Thursday night, quantitatively, how much closer. To say "we're closer now than ever before" makes as much sense as saying you "found a lost item in the last place your looked."
To paraphrase a famous Pink Floyd line: "We're one day closer to death" too. I'd like to still be above ground to enjoy the day this investment pays off. Still being able to feed myself would be nice too.
