Actually it is not that simple! If the only thing I can say to a question a fellow investor asks is ‘buy, sell , or hold’ then I need not speak up because I do not have the answer to the question posted.
As an investor, if all I wanted to hear is whether I should ‘buy, sell, or hold’ and NOT ask any other questions then, IMO, I am an irresponsible investor.
Hard questions for ANY company have to be asked and do deserve a valid answer! These questions are not an indication that a person has lost faith in said stock. It is actually the opposite.
To me, what it means is the person asking the hard questions is doing their due diligence (DD) and need information in order to make an informed decision on their part! I stress the ‘their’ part because everyone has a level of comfortability in where and how their money is growing or not growing.
Case in point- a co-worker of mine put me onto SFOR in early 2016 through his DD he invested in over a million shares and still has them but has not bought anymore due to his comfort level of where SFOR is at. I myself took his info, did my DD and through the 2 1/2 years I have invested more than 4x what he has and this was HIS idea. As of note, we work together everyday and discuss SFOR almost as much and also have several other co-workers that have stock - yes, all at differing levels! Age difference between us is over 10 years. In our mini-stock holder meetings(lol) some hard questions have came about and many cannot be answered but not one time-never- have any of us said ‘move on! because of a question!
Questions inherently can be seen as negativity but if it is a VALID question of income, operability, contract info, dates, time, PR’s etc etc.. then I say bring them on!! It helps us all!
In time I have noticed that if a question stays on the board, allowed to stay posted, it usually gets an answer. Too many people here are scratching and clawing for information that it will be answered. Does that mean it will be perfect or be exactly was everyone wants to hear? NOPE! But I myself want to hear ALL information about SFOR good AND bad.
Hell, look at Apple right now- questions are flying all over the place about their recent down quarter and missing by 5Billion dollars! To keep investors they are asked the hard questions that NEED an answer that reflects how management will proceed forward to fix any problems.
Do we have faith in SFOR management to move this company forward? Do we have faith that Mark and Co will get the revenue and contracts done? Do we believe there is a better brighter future for SFOR? I know I do for all the above!
So in response to Gators question, he makes an excellent point all moderators need to think about- are said moderators, fellow posters, and readers, here to help everyone reading our forum get the information they need to invest- or are we here to just blow and go and not face real questions that ONLY management can answer and should. Some may leave but on the flip side , answered questions may- or will- bring more investors. Pump and dump all you hear is up up up, positive positive positive.... but buy buy!
Show me ONE big S&P that always has that!
SFOR is a great company with limited resources (for now). They are moving forward and pushing back on Billion dollar companies- they are in the fight for their life and our investment. I am holding and will keep holding but let’s all work together and answer all questions to those who need it! Hell, I might buy more!
If you made it this far, thanks for reading as this was just my thoughts on how we should handle questions!
