Couple things:

1) "$3.25 to $6.00 per share" is a looooong way from $20/share. Even if you add a couple years on. Businesses aren't guaranteed to grow every year, especially in this economy.

2) It's not enough to just add ovens and make more product. You have to sell that premium product, at a premium price in a highly competitive market and a down economy. You can add all the ovens you want (as you can afford them), but that doesn't sell fish. Selling fish sells fish. So far, selling fish is mostly happening on this board.

So I'm all for hearing the real stuff, the good stuff. Seeing the ads roll out to the real marketplace (meaning not here). Bon Appetit, Men's Health, Dwell, Saveur; magazines and websites. Get it into catalogs like Harry&David, Dean&DeLuca.

Examples:

Less time selling stock, more time selling fish.

The math is very real, and if anything, $20 in 3 years is very conservative. Sure, it may sound like a lot, but Eddie's preservation of a low share structure has made it possible to experience epic gains following the realization of expected revenue and income. For any non-believers, all I can suggest is that they check back in 3 years and see how close we were with our predictions.

A friend and SMKY investor suggested I check-out this business/stock.
Thank you for directing CyberBullyMouse back to the SMKY DD Summary,
because I had similar questions to Cyber's and the summary helped.

As a consumer of food ( not just stock ) I was shocked to see ONLY ONE offering online, and FISH at that. IMHO, when the consumer finds his/her way to Smoky Market Foods they are probably expecting to see pork, beef and/or chicken ( basic American Barbeque ); not FISH.

Also, I would imagine a start-up venture would start with the less expensive, most popular basics to create volume, and add-on the more expensive, specialty Smoked Salmon later. No question the Salmon is healthier, but the realty of American eating habits suggests other marketing strategies.

Perhaps this issue has been discussed/addressed in the previous 5000+ messages. Hopefully, someone can reply with a brief explanation.
Maybe Eddie ?

Happy to see, this does have appeal as a growing business with positive gains and long-term investment opportunity, which has not appeared on any of the Pump and Dump warning lists. My main concern is the start-up food offering in the bigger world of popular smoked foods; something seems a bit "fishy".
