Bill - great effort. I was just sitting here trying to figure out my next move. The CSMA guys (also known as COCO nuts) are asking questions to help me, and now themselves, try to get a handle on this.
For now, I am going to assume this is the ultimate opportunity, that other people will become interested and have the same questions, and that since they listened to my singing that I owe something back. (Caution, CSMAers are known to burst into sudden fits of irrational singing and songwriting.)
Lacking a better plan, I will do the following:
plan A Compile a running list of questions in Word. Compile answers to the questions and DENOTE whether it's reported facts, company forward looking statements, conversations with corporation, Scientific Wild Assed Guesses(SWAGS) etc. Keep reposting as updated. Try to compile a current quick pick document to post for newcomers (and organize my thinking) that enumerates business, products, stuff, appropriate links etc. This will be clerical and organizational, not an attempt to become an oracle.
PLAN B (appendix a to plan a) Compile a list of questions for the company and refine until ready to call.
This new company will be even harder to research. I don't remember seeing a closing date (will look), so it's hard to guess when combined financials start getting reported. I gotta bunch of questions forming too, partially tripped by TGreg and the guy who looks like David M).
PLAN C
I THINK I'll drop a few more bucks at opening Monday. This is not a BUY signal. Maybe another 1k or 2k. Unless we find out that the company caused AIDS or something, it looks like more upside than down. I see this investment as a value buy right now, as opposed to the momentum that I bet the first K on. This is based on numbers we are hearing now and not growth estimates.
CSMA jury still debating. Got one probable no thanks, some who think it looks good and one or two who we hope look into it this weekend.
Personal note of hostility in advance to illegal naked shorters. I've seen enough to last me 'till about next December. This was part of the contract buying into CSMA. Play your games quickly and get the H out of our way. If this stock goes from $2.60 to 1.04 in one day on 10k volume, I will make it my personal lifelong vendetta to hunt you down. "Nobody hates like the Irish" - my father, on my mother and her tribesmen(me). Also, my mother can beat up your mother. End of speech.
Kids are in bed, now to the compilation. Mike |
