no offense taken. I understand where you are coming from. Des is a friend of mine, as well as COB of a stock I own. There's nothing more to it than that. We have discussed many things not related to the stock, and I have not shared that info as it is not relevant DD to offer the board.
As far as asking for help, I am not ashamed nor regretful. I think I kept that restricted to the email, but if I did use the board, I still needed help and apologize for bringing it into the MNTY board.
Des is not passing me any insider info, but I share all the DD I get. My trip to Dallas was to see the store for myself. Des offering to assist me in my DD search was a bonus I wasn't expecting. I did not ask Des to get involved, I merely told him I was going to be in Dallas to take pics for the board, and he told me he would get me access to the store. My trip to Dallas was nothing more than voluntary DD on my part, and I got what I was looking for.... the good, the bad, and the ugly. I shared everything I found, and backed up my DD with as much evidence as I could.
But to end this, you are correct, absolutely no one should trust me, or the company... do you own DD, and make your own decision..... and then STICK BY YOUR DECISION!!!! That's what I like about Godfather, altho his position appears to be negative, he's always professional, as factual as can be, and HE STICKS to his guns.
