I don’t disagree with your concerns; I just donâ

I don’t disagree with your concerns; I just don’t approve of compulsions to unnecessarily state it via methods and verbiage that I think mostly work against the company’s current interests. So we can agree to disagree that public chat boards are a wise method of transmitting personal opinions of a negative nature when invested in a company or trying to serve the company’s goals. You can cast your vote for that. And if you’re trying to convince people online to one day vote NP and his board out, 2020 probably isn’t the year to mount that campaign when it’s the company’s more successful and auspicious year to date, blunders notwithstanding. You’re not perfect, nor is he. Nor will he ever will be. But he’s more effective than he is ineffective, so I just don’t see the utility in complaining and blaming, especially after the fact.

Bottom line: as a CYDY investor, you are a mixed bag of intelligent & informed thinking and emotional reactivity triggered by your concerns for society and financial status, and you need to use public online forums, often daily, to voice it. You are in the majority when it comes to the retail investor style in this stock. And of your 2000+ posts, many are in service to the cause. I guess I just see emotional weakness when the sour tongue needs to come out, justified or not, since nothing can really be accomplished from it on here aside from potentially scaring other investors, fueling shorts who have infiltrated the group, and feeling better about getting it off your chest. It’s not a perfect world, so I guess there’s no point in taking a perfect world approach, but if you’re aware that it doesn’t really improve the situation, then why post it so publicly? This stock is always under fire from vicious short attacks that prey on any angle they can to bash and discredit the company, and they do so most often around critical and sensitive stages in our process, so why give them more fuel? I think it’s more about using the more public forums to inform in ways that support and defend the cause, and more private and confidential forums to assess concerns and emotional needs. That’s just my philosophy and methodology to an investment strategy, but to each their own.

The online criticism about the company that is not delivered directly to the company may not really help the short term, but I don’t think it will adversely affect the long term, so you do you. And we don’t need to get into a spat here; we can just leave it at this: we want the same thing for this company and for its customers & shareholders, and we just have slightly different approaches on to how and what we widely communicate online. Neither you nor I will change the trajectory of this stock, so this is more academic than anything. I only post these sentiments publicly because I do think the way a collective body behaves can influence the trajectory of the stock as we hover in the pink sheets, so I try to do my part to set a tone I think best serves the process and results we all seek.
