Boob, you're probably right:
<<If he posts once, he is here for life...no one will let him leave, they'll just keep bugging
him with more questions, and if he finally decides to leave because it is taking too much
of his time answering questions than everyone will say bad things about him, how dare
he leave us here, etc, etc. It's a LOSE LOSE situation for any CEO that posts on line.
PR firms I don't trust, I have been burned by them many times before..."straight from the
horses' mouth or not at all" is my mottos.>>
We/They may want to consider taking a page out PNLK's book. Both companies are poised to move forward, either by way of a watershed product intro ( as in PNLK's case ) or an historic jump in earnings
( as in GNNX's case ) one or 2 Q's from here, based on recent contact announcements.
For about 2 weeks now, a principal from PNLK's marketing firm ( as opposed to a PR firm--a distinction with a decided difference ) has been answering some of the questions/concerns posed by some of the threadsters on the PNLK board. His answers have been factual, concise and wisely infrequent. Moreover, he has smartly avoided entering into any pissing contest traps that have been set by a few people posting on the message board. IMO, both companies are at very critical points in their histories where the issue of credibility becomes ever so crucial to their survival. We all know the reasons for this: BB listing, minimal earnings histories, etc., etc.
I can tell you that the marketing firm's participation on the PNLK thread, albeit and rightly limited, has been a boon. It, again imo, has kept some of the float in some weak hands that might have been weaker --- in other words, it's made some weak hands strong. It has sent a signal to doubt mongerers that facts from an authoratative source can, to some extent, guide the price of a stock to its correct levels.
I am in agreement that any officer from GNNX should not participate on this thread--they should be taking care of business. In lieu of a marketing firm, I think that Markox 5's concept of an internal IR person would be ideal. Most all reporting companies employ one and, as I understand it, their mandate and raison d'etre is to disseminate the facts and only the facts, Jack! At this point in GNNX's history the timing may be right for such an addition.
