This is all just my humble opinion. One investor to another just throwing around ideas to help us understand where we stand. Let's take a look at the lack of guidance to date on the Asian situation, with the new accounting firm coming up on 16 weeks since hiring. Either there can be no progress and the company is subtly shifting to a U.S. based growth strategy, i.e. organic growth thru plants and retail type partnerships. Or possibly it's all still so much in the air it's too tricky to comment on. Or there is indeed progress in the far east known by only a very few, obviously. Let's take this latter assumption for a moment. Why would any company stay totally silent on a pivotal point of success, not even putting out veiled guidance of good things on the way. There is no reason I can fathom to stay secret anymore about what is being attempted. The cat has long since been out of the bag about who is being dealt with, how and why. Potential competition knows the deal. So could that be it? Another possibility is a company just likes keeping things close to the vest, at the expense of investors unfortunately and a reputation of complete openness and transparency. OK, it's a business style: any company can like bombshell announcements to thumb their nose at the doubters. Could that be it? A third possibility, however, and this totally just my opinion and the throwing out of ideas to ponder, is that, like it or not, there are a myriad of folks who can benefit from the shady OTC world being given free hand in dropping the PPS over an extended period. Committed, loyal longs for one who could be anybody from risk taker investors who've done their DD to those closer to the action who have done their own too - all willing to throw the dice. But think about it. Aren't there others who could "make hay while the sun shines"? MMs love a chance to play with a stock for a while which would make anyone think they'd be friendly when a stock finally takes off and until a company could uplist to leave them behind. Heck, haven't several on the board conjectured the quick payback of toxic loans pissed someone off who took revenge? Poop happens folks. Now before anyone screams insider trading that's not at all what I'm insinuating. Insider trading to me is like when the trading in airline stocks did weird things in the final days just before 9/11 (if you don't believe me do your DD. It's fact not conjecture). I am merely trying to use my common sense after having watched things unfold for so long now and see what possible scenarios pass the smell test. What do others think?
