none of us trying to ban free speech or debate..but the board here and on yahoo is overwhelmingly BEARISH ...and just look at your post..you are long the stock and still bringing up negatives
i mean that just about sums it up. to act like no one is allowed to bash this stock is nuts..its 90% of what i see here on a daily basis from a set of vocal posters
what is crazy is posts of mine have been deleted for no reason at all and I try to be as rational as i can.
so yes..the company has a lot of work to do before getting any real cred
the only red flags i see currently from a rational stand point are :
1. the high salaries...why aren't they lower salaries at this point? they could get much of any perks via expense accounts that they needed. I guess car expenses are OK as execs must wear multiple hats in the organization including outside sales/traveling, etc. so if someone is working the job of 2-3 people I think its OK if they pay themselves more within reason
2. Pink sheet..---from the very fact its a PINKIE...already overwhelming # of bashers will be here and the tim sykes crew. however, most people do not...and can't short Pinkies..so ask yourself who all the bashers are? also, are they jealous of the company/insiders and have a grudge? are they part of a hedgie who is actually accumulating shares while info is so hard to get on whats going on?
3. its a start up---there is loads of risk in all start ups so no surprise here..execution of the business plan is what will give people more and more confidence and if they overcome this initial batch order hurdle confidence will come quick IMO
GREEN FLAGS
1. Business model looks exciting and legit. did you guys read the Transparent 10k Filing this weekend? was very well done and lots of questions are answered there although these things are long. Here you will find the product names like HydroFuse, etc that are all in the pipeline
. you will also see the patent and licensing arrangements they have and you will finally put this to bed. You will see to execute their FULL 3 prong attack they will want to raise 12 million or so in financing..which could come multiple ways or be delayed. all transparent. all legit and not that bad at all in the end game of things.
2. So many celebrity athletes from so many sports..is a very good sign. pulling the wool over 1-2 athletes is one thing..but dozens? and the best ever- tiger?
PS...ignore the sykes argument about athlete endorsements on products..they DO WORK when they work...simple as that. but its got to be a decent product and exposure. if they didn't work you wouldn't see companies use any celebrities at all. even icy hot has SHAQ in their current commercials.
3. Recent financing deals show people were willing to take stock vs principal and interest or forcing cash payments. very bullish and you are seeing the reaction last few days after retail capitulation. don't forget some of the bashing is people who bought at 1 buck and sold at 30 c. total losers IMO
4. Adlers father is a hedge fund manager on wall st. and has been quoted in Forbes Magazine, etc. He must have some cred and he and his contacts which helped fund this thing..and likely won't back out easily. that gives ME encouragement its not a P and D like you know who here keeps harping on. the Adlers have "SKIN" in the game...and reputation. so do the athletes. Tiger has a 5 year contract!!!
lastly...if you are more uncertain than normal, that is fine. this is a pinkie after all. Do what I'm going to do...put a time limit in your mind on how long you will allow management to make progress, etc
so in other words...12 months from now and Adler/Tuffin/Etc is still making 200k and taking options..with the other guys...but hasn't done a dam thing to progress the company..you can be assured its time to sell if you hadn't...and spread the word to tell the truth about the company. But tiger is giving it 5 years...just saying:)
