Sorry to break this to you, chief (and I can say this because I have owned and run multiple businesses at the same time myself), but it is not at all unusual for an entrepreneur to have his hands in multiple businesses, be they simultaneous or subsequent, interconnected or not. Man, you must've REALLY bought in at the peak of the last run and sold for a HUGE loss, because you are bound and determined that nobody else invest in this company. Thank you for all of your diligence, however, I'll be holding my shares and recommending that others do the same.
