<<<Steve, you say you've never been a salesman for ILT, yet you posted here on this thread that you were until May, a regional distributor for them. How do you square these statements?>>>
Perhaps you could share this post with us Wendell?
Here are a few that I could find, none suggest I was ever a distibutor,,,

<<The information concerning the letter mailings is posted by a chemical salesman from a company in competition with PLSIA, who has also purchased shares of stock of the company whose products he sells (also probably short PLSIA). Consider the source and motivation. I see nothing else to consider.>>
Hmmm not exactly a good representation of reality. Just to clear this matter up, I am not a chemical salesman for ILT, nor am I an official equipment salesman for ILT -- I have never been paid anything by ILT for any services performed for ILT, don't have an agreement to ever get paid anything from ILT -- nor do I ever expect to.
I have purchased Laser Whitening equipment from ILT -- that would make me an ILT user -- so I do have some experience with laser whitening equipment and I do try to keep up with current events in the laser whitening and associated laser industry. I do not represent ILT -- these opinions are my own as a laser owner and consumer. And one other thing -- I'm not short PLSIA.
For some crazy reason I thought there were some readers who wanted more than the rose colored, feel good information and mis-represented facts from some on this board <two classics that come to mind are LRiley posting such ridiculous things as "argon sales were not the majority of last year PLSIA revenue" when in-fact argon curing and whitening laser sales amounted to about 3.5 of last years 5.5 million in revenue ,,,,, then the lou lou "ILT claims to have patented Hydrogen Peroxide", ROFL -- dat was a guud one!>
But LRiley does make one good point -- if PLSIA does indeed have some solid fundamental achievements or potential to promote, people might buy into the promotion and prop up the stock to make sure the warrants are attractive to exercise. LRiley's idea for a trade -- might not be a bad idea. But if they don't have anything substantial to promote and it ends up being more smoke and mirrors than substance -- IMO the stock won't trade higher as LRiley suggests. Or more on topic, if certain events in the market place might have a significant effect on PLSIA's future sales -- which in turn might affect the stock price -- it might be a good idea to discuss them instead of pretending the issues don't exist.
I don't know of a single company that doesn't want their stock to trade higher -- but wanting and getting are two different things. So, assuming PLSIA is no different than any other company that wants their stock to trade higher -- and may go to great lengths to "promote" their best points to achieve this higher stock price, I think it would be prudent to take a hard look at what the company has to promote -- it gives us all an opportunity to maybe make a good informed decision on a trade.
Now I admit I have an interest in ILT equipment and LRiley and others here have an interest in PLSIA stock -- so we both have perhaps tainted views of reality. Fortunately if we deal with facts there shouldn't be much room for argument. And if we discuss opinion we can agree to disagree.
So lets call a truce here and try to focus <with lets say, laser intensity> on the issues without too much name calling <OK, Carp Boy inferring bottom feeding sucker, might have been a little out of line>, so maybe we can all arrive at a better informed opinion on the question -- does PLSIA have anything of substance to promote -- as the answer could be profitable to all of us.
Cheers Steve the "White Flag Waving Laser User"****
BTW Wendell I have a bunch of other posts out there to back these posts up if you really want to search. When I had the exclusive rights to my area I was the OWNER of the equipment -- I never sold equipment nor did I try to or want to.
Cheers Steve |
