A paid promoter states that PLNI will come out with many new products, that have yet to be announced to the plublic, because its CEO plays golf.

I think the plastic re-bar will do well over the long haul, but it will be more readily accepted by small non-Union contractors at first. Being approved by the US DOT helps, so it eventually migrate into the major Union-based projects, as the crotchity 'old hands', engineers and estimators finally get a grip.
What has me fired up are the unannounced products that simply have to be coming out of R&D, due to all the travel and contacts made over the last year. You just don't do that much running around and not stumble onto new and specialized needs from your clients - and other people you meet on the plane, etc. Plus the fact that you don't pay inhouse engineers or R&D people to sit on their hands.
When I make a presentation to a client for a project or consulting services, the last thing I ask is "..What else is bugging you.."!?! Sometimes, out of the blue, the client will simply say, "..OBTW, have you ever run across this situation..", or, "..do you know someone who can deal with X-Y-Z.."?!?. In either case, it's either more work for my Associates and me, or I can refer them to a known Guru and get the related Brownie Points from both parties. And, I have come home with new work from the guy I inadvertenetly sat next to on the plane, and happened to have a drink with at an intermediate airport. JT has another advantage, he plays golf - and I don't.
With all the garbage-slinging buttheads out there posting "..Doom, gloom, and Agony on me.." tripe and personal bashes against JT, I expect we will get a whole lot of interesting new News - shortly after the main announcements we're all waiting for.
It may be a rather long fuse, but there's "...Fire in the Hole.."!!!
