Mr. Davidson,
<< Have you officially changed your prediction of Naxos's blossoming from the spring to the summer?>>
No, Mr. Davidson, the prediction I made last fall still stands; the flower of Naxos will blossom in the spring and will attract many pollinators. These events derive from operational aspects; a "fertile" Franklin Lake - sufficient precious metal nutrients, the liquidity of cash reserves, and dissipating dark clouds of doubt and suspicion allowing the sunlight of increased awareness and attention to enable continued flowering and pollination well into summer.
The process described above currently is underway to the apparent satisfaction of Naxos management, present and past, and major stockholders. There is, however, another side to that metaphor.
The management of Naxos also is undergoing a transformation, as I said, within a cocoon of sorts. A cocoon is a constructed membrane that separates a dynamically changing inside reality from the interfering outside world. Nature shows us that it is necessary for the most profound transformations to occur in such environs.
The mid-summer transformation of Naxos from a creepy caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly may appear to be a metaphorical mid-stream horse swap, but it makes my point. Naxos appears to be shifting policy in fundamental ways, so to speak, in mid-stream.
Were I to stick with the blossom metaphor, management activities of Naxos policy makers would be centering around the big push for the annual autumnal seed production and distribution objectives and strategies for seed dispersal. Preparing for that situation does not appear, anymore, to be all that important. A policy shift is signaled here.
Eager, aspiring butterflies soon learn that the best way to get "netted" is to be the most beautiful butterfly in the world. So it looks like Naxos will be joining the Wall Street butterfly brigade and flit around looking for capture and mounting by some well funded, institution supported, and highly respected investment lepidopterists.
A point of view from the field, Mr. Davidson.
