mag, nice post. I think all of us longs appreciate what we have or we would have been long gone by now (get it? LONG gone?. Can't help a little pun. If your'e long on TPAC, I believe you have the right to nervously poke fun.) Your post is a nice reminder on why we've put our investing dollars in TPAC. At the same time, nothing that we say in our posts will benefit anyone other than ourselves as longs, with the exception of maybe causing TPAC management to think about the pps a little more carefully. The new investors that we need are looking for something to come out of TPAC's PR machine is all I'm pointing out. All of us longs know that TPAC is forging ahead, and it is definitely a long term investment strategy. The problem is that those vast majority that are attracted to the penny stocks are much more short term oriented. If they see a stock behaving like TPAC they will stay away until it hits rock bottom, in the trips. That's where they make the penny stock money. Remember when this was at .0005 and then blasted up to .0069? Twice? As longs, we're almost back to where we started and most of us have probably lost money at .001 after averaging down from the .004 through .002 range.. That's not why we invested in this company. We put hard earned money in it with the hopes that the Boeing, Airbus, Comac, and AVIC deals, as well as others, would be forthcoming and the rise in the pps would level off around .01 and then slowly continue it's rise after that. And the hype was that with the 20% rebate from China for buying parts made in China, those companys and TPAC would be scratching each others backs, all to the joy of TPAC investors.
I am firmly convinced that the big deals are an eventual reality that could happen by the end of this year or maybe in 2017, in all liklihood as a result of obtaining the financing that Bill is after. But something is wrong on the PR side of things when a company can go from .0005 to .0069 and back down in a matter of months. It was either too much hype, too fast in the beginning to sustain, or it's not enough now, or a combination of the two. But it rests on the PR machine of TPAC to figure that out and do something about it.
Because if this goes into the mid trips, with roughly 3 billion in OS, and Bill RS's it to .01, what do you think will happen to the amount of issued shares after the RS? More than likely, if he does a 20:1 RS at .0005 or .0006 (merely an example), the issued will go to 150 million but how long do you think it will stay there? The temptation is too great to issue another 100 million. Then our "long" investment, what we've invested in the company, suddenly drops by 40%. I've seen it happen too many times before. And you can't blame the CEO for creating more stock that way when he has to compensate larger investors with stock rather than cash and the A/S and O/S are in the billions and fairly close together.
So no one benefits from an RS, whether it's 5:1 or 20:1 at this stage of the game. If we hold our shares, the pps will rise and it will get to .01. It'll take the SLA's and the million dollar orders from the big boys already mentioned. But if this RS's before those happen, just to raise the pps, we're in trouble.
