I'd like to know why any investor here cares about an uplisting, what benefit they think uplisting to a higher tier of bush league exchanges will have for the company? What is going to be the positive change for the company upon completion of this uplisting? Why are some touting this effort as if it's significant?
Per your observations:
1. I didn't really expect my positions to be controversial; there's nothing irrational in there at all.
2. It's an excellent question which the company had an opportunity to give guidance on with 1Q results; shame about RM, things happen, what's next? Has the ink dried yet on previously alluded to agreements? I guarantee some B&M chain somewhere out there would see the benefit of having a value priced premium consumable like the Gens. My concern is that some may want an exclusive. Some may be just going through the motions of negotiating in good faith. Some may be attempting to keep it out of their competitors' hands, at no cost to them (since nothing has "been finalized" on purchasing), and trying to allow the burn rate here to weaken DECN's bargaining position regarding price. Is DECN getting strung along? Will we ever know, or just get innuendo through back channels?
3. That is exactly what it is, "incessant touting," regardless of how you perceive the tone. I think the motive behind an uplist initiative is to achieve a hollow accomplishment that can be paraded around as some manner of progress. I don't think an uplist will have any significant effect on the company, and a merger will almost certainly be deleterious.
4. I don't know what Berman's doing, and given the breadth and depth of initiatives going on, I don't think promotion of sales is getting the attention it should. That's not a question of time, either... I don't think branding or marketing is anyone currently at DECN's forte, given what's been produced to date. I have serious doubts as to whether they can even be effective judges of what quality would look like. In and of itself, that's not a crime; nobody can do everything. But it should be evident to them by now, and they should be taking steps to rectify that. While we're on the subject: what ever happened with the purported "media buys" of days past? Where did they direct buyers to? What were the results?
I see the logic of the other initiatives, product development they're undertaking. The time and money required is a salient point (and I think bears stressing): How far along can they get on those before the coffers run dry?
I see no benefit to the corporate image because currently, DECN / the Gens have no image. There's no visibility, no awareness, and it's reflected in the numbers. Again: may not be a bad thing considering the state of the "corporate image" currently in place.
If things were going gangbusters, if the company didn't file to "go dark," some of these might be left to slide another quarter or two. Since neither's the case, optics need to drastically improve.
