Hi again Jeff...I see we are working early today. By 'build-up' I mean feeding constructive, possibly critical input back to the company. Gerald cannot do it all alone and if you have expertise or interesting ideas he is more than willing to entertain them. Really, CEC is run at this point by Gerald and his wife Marie. That's it.
You sound like a man with some good ideas. Maybe you can lend a small hand? From everything I have heard regarding Geoff Eiten, he sounds like the type of individual you would not want to forge a relationship with. But this does not mean all people who work in the business of bringing SmallCap stocks to light are like that. The 1.5 million in financing that SRDO obtained recently involved 10 million shares of floatable stock which, doubtless, has changed hands many times since. Very sad, really. Gerald would have liked SRDO because his relationship with key principles in the company like Lew Solomon go back at least seven years. And SRDO may indeed have some interesting projects on the horizon but Gerald is wise enough to know when to stay away from something also.
Gerald is not interested in a short-term 'spike' in the stock so much as he would desire solid, predictable growth for the company. At the same time, the influential financial community has to learn about the company and that is why IR/PR partners are being sought out. Trust me--Gerald WILL NOT do business with someone he has not checked out or does not trust. This is virtually a part of his heritage and his culture. In that context, I think Kostech SmallCap Research is a good fit. So far I have found nothing about them that I can say is negative, and if I did, it would have to be confirmed by at least two other sources. In fact, I have talked to Tom Kosta, the founder of that research firm, and I find him to very professional and well- connected within the financial community.
News will come and assets will be cultivated. The stock by all measures is grossly undervalued just like other stocks are grossly overvalued. In time the imbalance will be corrected.
I am not really affiliated with anyone in the business. I am simply a private shareholder who, like you, believes in this gem. But I also see that the company needs a solid focus, a tighter infra- structure and assistance in the area of Investor Relations. Where I can help in an honorable way I will. I hope others do too.
