Good post, Melehuna.
Solomon has executed perhaps 75% of his vision, creating a vertically integrated, diversified and branded "food chain." And he's done it with very little cash, relative to accumulated net assets.
As Bear points out, it is this large and growing, integrated asset base that forms the money making machine we see now in terms of income, and later next year in terms of cash flow.
He's the CEO, so his primary responsibility is the long term vibrancy of the company, not the short term share price movement for any real douche shareholders.
He advertised that he would limit raising capital through equity to approximately 10% of needs through 2013. That's how he planned and that is what he's done. He retired personal shares, which is about as shareholder friendly as it gets.
Now, as the company is maturing, he's trying alternate means to raise capital, and dual listing shares, further shareholder friendly moves.
Disappointment that these maneuvers have not been recognized in the share price yet is no reason to demonize him.
