I'm looking at all these posts today. It's slowly

1.) Why aren't they PR'ing the solid numbers on the mainstream channels and pushing up the pps? Why issue it "internally" through their own PR team on social media?
2.) How can I free up funds and get more cheap shares before the world finds out and this goes onto the NYSE?
Those are the two main topics that I can see, other than comments on the latest TPACMusings. Well, you can't have both. So you're the CEO and you've got the original business plan in mind. You eat, sleep, and breathe bearings. You have been at this for over 5 years. You've also brought on a team of advisers that have recommended the SLA, EIA, and MRVB concepts. Or, you're trying to figure out how to make TPAC the one-stop for Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Comac, etc without major backing by the formerly gutted EX-IM bank and you have thought of the SLA's, EIA's, and MRVB but have decided to bring a team on board to figure out the logistics of it and split up the duties. At least until the Senate gets the whole EX-IM bank straightened out.
So, can you have your cake and eat it too? Not at the same time. You have to bake the cake and then you can eat it. Both take time and are not done at the same time. Sounds pretty basic, doesn't it? Except in the OTC world.
When you first start investing in the OTC's you have this imaginary pie in the sky idea that you're going to invest $10K in a legitimate startup that's trading at .0003 and... whamo!!!...It bolts to $0.05 in a matter of less than a month based on product ID and revenue from that glorious widget and suddenly you're set for life! Except, it doesn't. Because the MM's get in there with their own ideas of how money should be made in the OTC, and the company is having an issue with individuals accusing them of not having made a single widget and the rumors are flying. But you see your stock go up to $0.007 and you're elated but don't sell because you know it's going to $0.05. Then it does a little roller coaster and starts a gradual slide back down in the wrong direction. But you don't sell because the "longs" on the board are saying that the business is solid and it should at least be at $0.03. And you've done your DD and know that to be true. So you hang on as it slides counting yourself in as a "long" because the business plan is solid, all the while cursing yourself for not having sold it at $0.006. You would have made 20 x $10K or $200,000. In one week.
What happened? The OTC, that's what. Where investors feel that they're a "long" investor if they have to hang on for 6 months with a stock. Except that 6 months to a year is not "long." 2 to 5 years is "long." It takes years for a legitimate company to get on it's feet, as it were. Most are flipping, maybe not day trading, but certainly not buying and holding. They hear a rumor of some terrible thing the company has done, or neglected to do. They know it's not true but figure it will scare many into selling which will drop the pps. So they see an opportunity. They sell and count on buying back in at a lower price and getting even more shares. All the while contributing to the flipping but not counting themselves as flippers. It's the OTC mentality.
So back to Bill and TPAC. The only thing that cannot be refuted is an 8-K, 10-K, or 10-Q. That's black and white. But you know that when those numbers come in, in black and white, plenty of people will be looking. And the pps will rise. Without hype. And if, as the CEO, you're considering buying back shares, there's no better strategy than to hold off on those official reports until they actually become due.
So, it's possible that Bill is hoping to buy back shares as much as many here are trying to buy more. So the lower share price is not hurting Bill at the moment. Especially if he's counting on the $85M from EX-IM. Muse has already telegraphed that the $10M loan is out in preference to the larger one.
And if you're truly a "long", and you're tired of the roller coaster from MM's and naysayers, then be happy that Bill is letting the House and Senate do the talking at the end of this month. It will fly in it's time. And it won't be based on what might be or should be, but what is...for a change.
