$TPAC Great post, mag! So much to comment on her

$TPAC Great post, mag! So much to comment on here, or at least attempt to, as so many subjects are rolled into one reply, which is pretty awesome. My story is a bit opposite yours as far as my investment background is concerned. I dabbled in large cap stocks for a short period of time, but felt like it was not going to net the right rewards unless there was an enormous amount of money invested that can yield substantial profits based on single digit percentage moves. Once that hit me, I moved on to pennies, subs and triples. This is most certainly my arena of choice. The big light bulb went on when I was working a project management position and took a vacation to see some old friends back in the Midwest. When I made forty grand sitting on friends couches, talking, eating, and hanging out, I knew I was right where I should be. It kind of progressed from there. It was by no means easy street, as I took some good lumps as a beginner. As I began dissecting things, I am now much more shielded from risk(though never completely given this market) than when I started. I went from listening to message boards, to picking things by sector, then focusing on the boring stuff such as convertible debt, reverse split history, changes(or lack thereof) in share structure, certifications and awards(as in govt, or something of that caliber), and then combining charts with fundamentals for a less myopic view. When I came across TPAC, it had all of the right elements for a long term hold, so I bought in. The convertible debt was done(or at least down to the end of the last note), the company was not going to take on more nor was it going to R/S, the CEO was communicative, there was a plan in place to buyback the expanded share structure that was due to conversions, NAVAIR certification, a great management team, a chart that was at the bottom, and lots of noise on the boards, though nothing like we're starting to see now.

I think you make a series of great points when alluding to Bill and how is primary focus should be on the business. The man is in the process of turning a startup into a very well established international company due to have very significant multi-industry demand. Bill has mentioned many times that this is aerospace and aerospace doesn't explode overnight. That has become increasingly clear with the courting(s) of Boeing and AVIC. One can only imagine how many hoops each company has to jump through. You can't get funding to acquire multiple companies without a serious amount of research that produces tangible evidence to the bankers, the company that is seeking to be acquired, and the company making the acquisition. The same goes for doing multi-million dollar deals with Boeing or other aerospace giants. Every single "i" must be dotted and every single "t" must be crossed; and with Boeing, the handwriting must be picture perfect to match. Think of who we are talking about. Boeing isn't going to muddy up their name for any old start up; and a start up that actually scored NAVAIR approval, given it's cost, time and rarity, isn't going to muddy up an opportunity to land Boeing. Both entities expect everything to be perfect, on their end and on the other end. This is extraordinarily complicated and no amount of Twitter posting can even tip a hat at just how intensive this process is, and how long an entity remains under the microscope of the next until all is right and the handshake is complete.

Congrats to you as well on your shares. .002 is an excellent entry here. Though I got my initial shares in the .000's, I back up that last statement by saying I added at .0029 and may do so again if given the opportunity. Thanks for the thought provoking reply. It is much appreciated. We have a lot going on and a lot to remain excited and optimistic about. I'm very much looking forward to the next set of releases from Bill and the unfolding of the current year of trading.
