I think it's an excellent idea you propose, Getcher, that someone from this thread make another attempt to see what's really going on at 5601 Holly N.E., and to do so with more preparation and introduction than I made, but maybe we needn't maintain this level of hostility. Perhaps if you wrote Robbins' a letter explaining that in June you will be in the vicinity and that you would like to come by and visit, and that you represent a fairly large group of investors who communicate via the internet, yatta yatta, perhaps he'll be more receptive. If he responds by saying your not welcome, or if he doesn't respond at all, then we could get a little more forceful with him, no?
Oddly, I think I'm much less upset about my experience than a bunch of you who've responded, though admittedly I probably have less at stake. Although I found Robbins lacking in social graces and stupid for speaking so rudely to an interested shareholder, it really wasn't that traumatic of an experience. As I explained to Fred in a private e-mail, I could help but laugh a couple of times when Robbins made some particularly nasty comment or other, and I really felt more a sense of wonderment than anger. Also, I don't think we can draw any conclusions based on what I didn't see. As someone pointed out, there may have been rear parking. I have no idea about what goes into making a flat panel screen, but I suspect it doesn't involve a bunch of guys welding things back in the shop. We just really don't know.
Some other points: Robbins said 11 full-time and part-time employees. Sorry I wasn't more specific. Also, when he said "We are PLZTECH", my impression was that he meant they always were, it was the same management team.
What I don't like is the almost imperceptible, steady daily decline from mid-30's to 19 over the last few weeks. Somebody's obviously selling, and I hope it's not PLZTECH.
All jmo . . .
