Consider that maybe there are no “ real facts” available. Not positive ones anyway.
Consider that perhaps the intention of RFI was never to sell SPD film or licenses to use SPD. It was always a Story Stock to benefit insiders. Insiders simply lived a “retired style of life” albeit, a very nice one. No work was required. And that is why there is rarely much of anyone at the Office in Woodbury.
Consider that until 2011, with the advent of the low volume SLK with Magic Sky, there had NEVER been a successful commercial sale of SPD. And that little sunroof was 20” X 38”. So small it could have been produced by hand. And when the V222 Sedan was announced, it was delayed for 2 full years before it was commercially available—evidence the Company couldn’t produce good quality film in that large of a single piece.
The whole business model of licensing is designed to give relief to lazy, over paid management in the face of chronically disappointing results. It is not “poor old Joe’s” fault that aero, architecture, or auto failed to launch. It is “the price, and what can you expect poor Joe to do about the price? It is Hitachi’s fault! (has the price of a MAgic Sky roof dropped? Has the volume gone up? I’ve seen no evidence to suggest either)
There is plenty that should be shared by Joe. It isn’t what you know, it is what you don’t know. And what you don’t know that you don’t know.
PUNCHLINE: There are no results to be known. There are no results pending. There are more excuses, more delays, more concepts and more promises. The most recent big idea has it that the cost of SPD is in the “sweet spot”. But you won’t see more units from MB, you won’t see more models at MB, you won’t see new OEM’s. You will see more Q10’s with toplines between $250K—$450K. You know what you get for a bottom line with that top line.
You are right no one is selling SPD and no one is buying SPD. It has all been an orchestrated goof on stockholders. There never was any intention of selling SPD. Arguably, there still is not.
50 years of success— for the folks in management. Stockholders? Well, you know. But for Shorts, its been pretty good.
Rancon has Dixon figured out. She has an agenda. I have a different one. I’m just accurate. |
