Okay Mr. CD, lesson learned. Here is my two cents
Post# of 39368
Fact:
- Long time investors in TECO have been burned countless times by promises that are not kept.
- Long time investors have seen TECO over promise and under deliver.
- Long time investors presently have zero tolerance for promises that are not kept going forward.
My two cents strategy that is guaranteed to move this stock and company forward and set it apart from other penny stocks.
1) There is no need to set deadlines or project completion dates at this time for anything if there is any inkling that it would not be kept.
2) Most investors know that the TECO you inherited is a mess and are willing to give you all the time you need to strengthen things up.
3) Most investors view you as a straight-shooter and clearly do not want to see your impeccable reputation tarnished.
4) Most investors expect that if there is absolutely a need to set a deadline that you incorporate additional one, two, three, four weeks or months to the published deadline to account for the unforeseen circumstances that may arise in the course of running a business, especially one that its reputation is being mended. For example, if a project is intended to be completed by November 30, you may publish projected completion date as December 30 or something to that effect giving you the added wiggle room for the unexpected which would project competence and make you look good if the project comes in on November 30 – under promise and over deliver.
5) Most investors see number 4 above as crucial – investors want to be able to take your word to the bank so to speak – they have been burned so many times it’s not even funny.
6) Most investors are tempted to read your writing with the usual blah blah blah that they have come to expect from TECO but are willing to withhold judgment as it pertains to you, but it still left a little bad taste in their mouths.
7) Most investors wish you well and hope that you have learned from this lesson.
Best regards.
