warning- long form answer one of the problems w
Post# of 96879
one of the problems with ntek (as a stock) it requires serious research. not all stocks do. with 50+ employees, six divisions, seven locations, that's a lot of work. lot to keep an eye on
and the employees are outstanding. ntek won me over when they added blake brown. that's when i knew they were for real. mitch lowe, al stone, lx, ivy, and others are remarkable. taylor and hightower were amazing additions. think about it. ntek announces new divisions. then they go out and get a roku exec for the 4k streaming media players bsuiness - a roku exec! (that's the current market leader in set-top-boxes)
really, think about that. that is amazing in and of itself
#2
then they go get an igt exec for the gaming-labs division (who only goes out and gets an experienced, patented gaming vet to help him build the business)
just well done. these are not low-level, throw the "spaghetti on the wall" and see what sticks kinda guys. they have proven track records. in the businesses ntek hopes to build
amazing #3
but, there's more - if u really look into the backgrounds of bellitti and brown (sounds like a law firm) these guys are top notch software engineers. that told me ultraflix was going to get done right. with pending porting deals
look at blake browns patents. the guy is very gifted and accomplished. same can be said for the ntek gaming labs creative director and game designer riesenberger. this company has more talent and experience than many larger private companies. [and acquisitions too like gf3d, novosensus, apps,..]
you could make a case for these employees being overqualified. if you were to only look at what ntek has produced before hiring them (omitting new products) compared with current ntek products these guys have now had a hand in building
and those are just the employees. nvidia and foxconn? someone is in nanotechs corner pulling those strings. you don't get your first product made by foxconn unless you have someone forcing the issue. helping to get it done. i don't know if that was nvidia, arthur, swanson, al stone or some other contact. but no one matches foxconn quality
then for ericsson, orange telecom, elemental, akamai, ittiam to use the nuvola at nabshow? nothing is guaranteed. and the nature of unreporting otc equities means dd, speculation, research are must haves
and everyone doing their own. drawing their own conclusions. investing accordingly. some may think david's brush with the law is a deal-breaker. i don't share that opinion. many will use anything they can to discredit ntek. but if all these companies that work with ntek don't care. if accomplished new hires (many from some very large billion dollar companies), execs, employees, and people have all come aboard and not realized this is a "scam" yet. and obviously couldn't give a crap about his past (or jeffrey being ceo, et. al.), otherwise if they did, why did they sign on? and so if the company's, execs, management, advisers and employees don't care, than why should i?
in truth. why should any shareholder?
what else do we need? but solid, experienced, accomplished employees. multiple companies supporting, backing, using their technology. key industry execs joining their advisory board? if these guys don't care and haven't left ntek after years being employed (for some), why should i care? how is it hurting us exactly? in real terms
did ntek go out to get an executive they lost out on? are they hiring sub-par employees? is there a mass exodus of people leaving the company? i think ntek employs like 5 patent holders and many adults in their 40's, 50's, 60's... yet i've read posts on this board from people who claim "nothing to do with ntek", have no holdings, claiming ntek a scam. how is it 50+ people working in silicon valley are too stupid to realize this?
that ntek has no products? no partnerships? no future? they sell outdated tech? we've read the garbage on this board. (if you haven't, sorry, mods might have deleted it before you could)
so how do people with "no interest" know better than all these experienced and accomplished people who actually work there? many who've put their careers on the line leaving roku, igt, ea, creatv, jp morgan chase, even sold their companies, assets and business to ntek (in the case of arthur m. and j. foley)...i don't think so
makes no sense to me. but everyone must do their own research. thinking. make their own decisions. i'm mostly going to sit here and accumulate as much of this stock as i can as cheaply as they'll sell them. i have a long investment timeline for this stock. and i obviously think the rewards exceed lower-price risk at these prices. otherwise i wouldn't be. way too much value and upside potential business for this co
for me to think any differently at this time
if things change in some material way then i'll re-evaluate as necessary. investing is dynamic. things can change. but so far research shows ntek can be wildly profitable with tiny market-share. returning large gains to shareholders. obviously their products aren't even out yet. but there are signs showing they are on the way. that is very exciting to me
sorry for the long post. that's as complete an answer as i could give
i want to re-emphasize that this research and info is my reply and my pov. along with my money. my buys. i would never tell anyone else what to do. when i was accumulating 3's and 4's, and later 5's i bought because that is what my research said to do. EVERYONE MUST DO THEIR OWN. COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS. WE ARE ALL GROWN UP men and woman. no one should buy, sell or do anything that doesn't suit their investment objectives. everyone is responsible for their own dough. your post raised a question (for me). i had the time. tried my best to answer. so, no, i don't see df as a problem. i hope everything goes well for him and his family. as he works through what i see mostly as a personal issue
