Heppie, I am all for the idea of not touting negative crap when you hold the stock, but on the same token, we do not need others putting a positive spin on negative reality.

There have been a few here that, like other boards and stocks cannot, or will not for one reason or another, see through a pair of glasses that are not so rosey.

When I see posters dismissing Reality, put a Positive Spin on Negative Actions, perhaps a recent one with SAVING $150K by not having a Booth, well, that is a Positive Spin on a company that cannot afford to market their products.

I doubt very much that I would have Invested anymore of my $$$ had I known that they could not afford to do this.

I have touted for months that if Clint did not move asside this company was going to tank. I have $30K invested and it is worth $10 if that, we cannot afford to let Clint and his fricken EGO get in the way of success because it's his baby.

If he has a Game Changer, then he better announce it very soon and license, aagain, what is the point if you cannot manage what you already have?.

"3Q sales?? Don't even think that they will be extremely postive"

(good to see you back, hope you are doing well)


The faithful always warn "don't expect THIS quarter to be good". I know it's another way of saying "I am in this for the long haul, this is a start-up company, I am patient, it will take time." Well, I think they have had plenty of time to show a good quarter. Or at least some significant quarter to quarter growth. There's been no progress in sales, there's been no progress in investor interest (if you want to use stock price as an indicator). What has happened between quarters that show no measurable growth? Or what's not happened? The lines of product have been available, they aren't doing manufacturing re-tooling between quarters. Maybe it's marketing and salesmanship. Just because WE think this is a novel idea, doesn't mean the marketplace agrees. And do they really have a niche, or just a license that someday may not be renewed. What's really in this for MLB with the abysmal sales? But I do agree with you that 3Q won't be good. And with all the exposure this company has had, I'm not sure they can do anything about consumer disinterest.

Heppie,

How do you propose we shake up corporate? I enjoy reading your posts and appreciate your straight shooter approach. I do not entirely agree with your post. Sure if you own the stock you do not want it to go down. I own the stock and I do not want it to go down even though I speak 'negatively' about the way things are handled. I don't agree with the philosophy that if you don't like how things are sell it. Sure, that is an option but many big name stocks have large shareholders that speak out against their company at times. That is a part of being publically owned. Any corporation even successful ones can be driven into the ground with poor management, IMO that is what is occurring here. They need someone to takeover the reins if this company is to survive.

Thank you for your honest opinion.

I am investing in the stock for the long haul and I have always enjoy reading the posts here both negative and positive. However, it's not the negative posts that are bothering me (and maybe others here). It's the sarcasm within the posts (whether positive or negative) that is making this hub not so enjoyable anymore.
