Tonto, I agree with you about TokyoMex not being a "pump and dumper",
or any other form of "manipulator".
I have come to know and love him well over the past year as we have
formed a friendship through a mutual love for people, and our shared
high values placed on equality,and social justice, and also personal
integrity.
You and he, and every one of us, have different styles. Tonto. I have
admired yours as a mutual shareholder of ARET on whose board I feel
you are as the "North Star" among objective, to-the point posters.
Joe, or TokyoMex, has a style that has not been well reflected in this
set of discussions about and around NETZ. Joe has a very small
tolerance for apparent ethical "mis-steps' on the part of a company.
Joe is also very intense, probably partly a cultural characteristic
of his being raised in Japan within the Japanese culture. He has
lived in the U.S. only about seven years, as I recall.
Joe has a fascinating mind and a tremendously multi-faceted
personality. If you met Joe and had no discussion of stocks, I can't
see how anyone would find him anything but, kind, warm, gracious,coop-
erative, and fascinating in his background and experiences.
Joe jumped into this company because I suggested it.In an earlier,
much earlier(in space--not so much in time-)
post he extolled my ability to pick the 'little guys".
That Joe can go to extremes is evident in his saying I call "9 out of
10". Nobody calls 9 0f 10!! But this reflects how supportive he is
of friends.
Joe did not contact the company IR for their packet before he took a
position. He relied on my excitement and his reading of their website.
Perhaps he was impulsive in doing this---it's not his usual approach.
I have watched Joe make an awful lot of good calls on stocks--usually
one's I was not in on. He is usually very careful and has a "lockstep"
plan. You can't do that very well with "pennies" because there are
too many unknowns.I think Joe is looking for the quantity and quantity
of information that he would look for in a stock further along like
TPRO, in which he has a major position.
I have found you have to tolerate a certain degree of "messiness" in
penny stocks. I think Joe wants it cleaner---but it is too soon.
Joe's "intensity" is too strong for the pace at which the true facts
can be uncovered in a stock like NETZ, imho. But he is capable of
seeing that and doing something about it--if I am right in the first
place.
I hope this is helpful to understand Joe is a good person, an ethical
person, a compassionate person, and a team player when the field is
level.
Best to all,
Jack Kanak |
