I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It sure is exciting to see all the posts about THIS week being our time.
But...but...but...let's not get too carried away. Remember to keep a heavy dose of patience.
It might be helpful to keep a list of what we are hoping for.
On the fundamental side:
- partnership with major household cleaning company
- Pharma deal
- bank financing
- Walmart, Target, other big box
- PETCO
- Pep Boys/Autozone/etc
- update on Q2 revenues
- updated guidance on Q3 and 2009
On the share side:
- more 13G proof of concentrated ownership of more shares than should rightly exist
- SEC-filed information from the company that RM has stopped selling shares and that float is truly "under 100 million"
- some progress -- possibly dramatic -- on reducing RM share count (Alaninvestor has recently begun echoing my call for the RM shares to be cancelled and replaced with a simple loan)
- some action to necessitate short covering
Something tells me we are not going to see all of the items on these 2 lists this week.
Now, I think we all have seen that nothing on the top list will move the stock at all. However, if you are thinking of holding a chunk of shares long term (or if the short squeeze is not really going to happen), then these will be important pieces of the puzzle of how long-term investors get rewarded (but probably nothing major even if ALL of them magically happened).
IF we see the last item (an action to force covering), then 20 cents is ridiculously low to be selling (think VW). So, maybe, just maybe we are looking at something monumental (in which case hold your shares). More likely, we should not get too worked up just yet.
