John, while I'd much prefer seeing the company succeed on it's own (and I still consider that a good possibility), your alternative makes sense and could indeed come to pass.
I don't believe any of us have our heads in the sand at this point, and anything seems to be possible. One point I do take exception to though, is the analogy of blood running in the streets.
All emotion aside, the main problems that seem to be on everyone's mind are the recent r/s and the extended time it's taking to obtain the much needed financing.
I really believe our new CEO is a guy who does not like to lose, and will do whatever it takes to get this puppy healthy again. The discussions I've had with him left me with the impression that he was willing to do whatever it takes to make this a success, including taking the heat from investors in the process. This guy has a very good history in the business world and if there is any chance for us, I believe it lies there.
If it does not work, I suggest it will not be due to Tom and Bob not giving it their best efforts.
And, if things do turn around, I hope we will all be just as quick to forward our appreciation to them.
Anyway, thanks for your posts....we need folks who can post here with intelligence, and can discuss both the positive and negative possibilities without resorting to bashing and/or hype.
Cheers, Randy |
