Add: I also find FMK's numbers compelling. Sometimes he gets a bit carried away, and i think it might take 1-2 years before all the joint venture revenue streams kick in, but FMK has done his homework and has strong professional background in mfg engineering. I have found much corroberating evidence including the statement Lev Dawson bit his tongue as soon as he made about possible cash-basis break even on 1800 units.
What I have heard from various sources lead me to believe that financing will not be very dilutive. The CC deal was execellent and CC had access to the exact status of the product, with the $$ to pay for all the DD they needed to decide to invest a total of $15M. They are even closer to full production mode now, so i doubt the financing will in future will be under any worse terms.
Of course naysayers will continue to interpret the financing in the most negative light, probably citing imminent bankrupcy even after P.O.'s are reported. The reality has been far different.
I also expect a contract to be announced before the end of this quarter, or early next quarter, and I also agree that the stock now, before a contract, is much cheaper than it will be after a contract has been announced.
As for the lack of spending on sales personel, that issue was raised at the last cc. Lev stated that he would like to hire a Sales VP (obviously getting the new CFO on board is a much bigger priority), but that they don't need much sales manpower because they deal with a small number of customers who will be buying in large volume. I will be very surprised if they deal in contracts under $20MM. Still, until customers are actually announced, this is obviously not a risk free investment. You seem to have traded the stock very well.
Good luck with your investment!
