RE: That was good, by Thomas A. Burke
Thomas adds to reader value,
"You put into words what many of us have felt here."
Thank you, Thomas, your words are heartfelt.
I strongly support IESV and strongly believe this company will be very successful in the future. However, always a however, the board of directors, although intelligent and well educated people, are displaying a lack of knowledge of how our stock markets operate and, most important, how investors view and react to specific types of news.
This Cornell lending, as you write, is worth cow crap. No need to comment on this; we know of Cornell for years.
Like you, I view the public bonds and various government related funding as very positive. This is a strong selling point for this company. Another positive point is "green" is the latest rage and will remain so because of pollution and high energy costs. Clean renewable energy sources is not only popular but is a must in our polluted modern times.
Intrepid has the right idea and has proven an ability to create a good and beneficial technology which solves energy needs and cleans up our environment; cow manure is a serious problem and a serious pollution source.
This technology, these efforts by Intrepid, all are aimed in the right direction and are very popular. Another however here, however the board of directors, typical of many tech companies, are engineers and scientists, to be respected, but are not stock market professionals nor financing professionals; they have not a single clue how to "sell" their company.
Retaining MDB Capital Group is a step in the right direction. This company does not have a bad reputation like Cornell. There is a need for funding, clearly. What is important is from which company funding is derived. Cornell is a jinx, an albatross about the neck of Intrepid.
My thoughts are Intrepid will eventually become a leader in this digester technology and, hopefully, will be contracted to design and possibly build digesters, elsewhere, perhaps servicing diaries on the move from California to Texas and the region.
Returning to this reverse split, you, I and readers all know a reverse split is almost always a bad move. Most often a reverse split is based upon a false belief a higher share price will attract more investors. This simply is not so.
Those of us who are serious and seasoned investors and traders look at fundamentals and technicals, especially fundamentals. We want to see the company bucks or potential to make bucks. A reverse split changes nothing and does not improve a bottom line, not in the least bit. Quite the opposite, a reverse split almost always creates a negative perception amongst the public.
I am betting on the "potential" of this company. Should this reverse split be approved, my bet will be removed from the poker table, and my ante is large. No doubt many others will pull back in thier bets; nobody likes a reverse split.
Clearly I have voted "NO" on this reverse split. I also voted to have Dennis Keiser removed from the board; he is way too old and way too addled to serve, effectively; he is a fossil relic of the Old School of Thought.
I urge readers to send in your proxy vote regardless of how you vote on issues; your money is at stake.
