Any More Delay Beyond August is Disasterous
I disagree with the sentiment that it's best that TSIG open "when they're ready". The back to school market should be a primary target for this company, and if the cards and site are not ready in time, then those five stooges that supposedly own 50% of TSIG outstanding shares, won't stick around much longer, especially going into the historically weak Fall period. It was stated that the site would be ready by the first week of August, and that is tomorrow; or have you all forgotten? Many large shareholders who did'nt hear the CC, and don't bother with these threads, are sure to lighten up on their positions every day after this week that the site and the cards remain unavailable, and when they sell, their may not be enough new buyers around to pick up the slack, especially with a few million shares worth of 144's waiting in the wings to sell too. Many of the issues coming from the CC are very encouraging LONG TERM, but shorter term, I'm losing patience with this stock, and won't wait for the last day of August to be out the door. It's pretty clear this stock will not give anyone the bang for the buck we ALL once expected when the site opens because of their marketing approach. It will take months for the card distribution to bring enough hits and 800 sales to musiccard call center to be of any consequence without any major marketing expenditures. While longer term, I'll conceed they may fare better than their heavilly marketed, no profit competitors, what does this do for me TODAY, nothing! If musiccard effort is simply a display of their prowess with other call center projects, then it will reflect directly on them with any future deals they are hinting to make. It may not be till Xmas that they actually have their act together at this rate, and with this grass roots marketing approach, it may be too late as by then competition will be fiercest. You CC listeners are giving each other false hope. The one thing you should have gotten outta Gordon was to pin him down on the site/card release, at least to the week, but you let him slip away. Also, anything he said or hinted about cash flow issues should be ignored. No CEO in his right mind running a company with a negetive asset value would tell you people anything concrete with all those creditors sniffing around. I really appreciate the effort you've made with the CC and sharing your impressions here, but nothing I've read makes me feel any better about owning or recommending this stock, and I'm glad I was not on that CC so I would not have this "warm and fuzzy feeling" luring me into false confidence. How quickly you all forgot how you expected this stock to be on the way to $2 by now. I'm sure 50% of use would be thrilled with a buck by the way things are going so late in the game. With the site already in beta for all the world to see, that fact that this stock is .30 today should worry you. The MM's are "playing games" and accumulating positions at lower prices, is a load of crap. Simply put, this company has yet to deliver, and till it actually does, this stock will drift, and then eventually rise from a much lower base then most here would have hoped. I'm not looking for readers to agree or disagree, or support this or bash this, I just wanted to bring a perspective that may have been lost over the past month. |
