I don't think you're the bad guy. Lots of potentially great businesses fail, despite having a great product. I look at it like this... There's "the what" and "the how." What BBIO is trying to do for the world is great. This fact can't be understated. How this business is being run, from a public company and outsider perspective, is horrifying. JB is a great guy but he's a lawyer. Lawyers are not going to advise a company to move quickly, to give any more info than is legally necessary, or to cater to outside influence. A lawyers job is to protect the company. If a lawyer is in charge of biz dev, in a company that is trying to affect social change or exist in that realm, the company is doomed to be stuck at the gate or be left behind. Does anyone here think the FITX guy listens to his lawyer? He gets advice IMO. Sorry Legal Girl. Sales, Operations, Marketing, all have personality types too.. This business will fail without a public, visionary, transparent, non-lawyer, real life CEO leader. They have a ton of molting to do to shed this horrible skin they've developed. Before they can get to a reasonable level of investor trust, they need to publicly give a shit. As I sit here typing THEY, I'm realizing that I have no idea who they really is, and neither do you. They isn't Kevin Allyn though... Part of they is JB, part is HJ, part is DGold (I'm assuming), but there are so many questions it's impossible to be truly passionate about the likelihood of success of this company *right now*. We all have hope, we may have passion for our account balances, but really... Passion for the business from a Global view of the facts of SKTO? Let's be serious. They can turn all the perception issues around quickly if they want to. They are well aware of the perception issues and choose to continue this course. They are not oblivious and yet...we have more of the same. There is a game being played here and I don't know what it is... It's rules are - buy time for the plan and stay off the radar. If those are the rules, what is the game? What is the goal? Who is benefitting short term and what does a long term win look like? Does shareholder value even factor into the definition of success? That's all. No it's not lol. The negative perception issues I spoke of, are really held by a relatively small amount of people... What's worse? The number of people with (somehow) positive perception is equally as low. The PPS will rise once again, and flippers will make money, and some of you will beat your chests saying "look at that it's success!! I told you so!!" In the meantime flippers profited and the chest beaters will be on the way to a long slow PPS decline and feel bad for themselves. "Welcome to the harsh world of penny stocks." Actually, that's nearly a quote from a famous lawyer I know.
