Joby - sorry you misunderstood my tone; I guess I misunderstood your message. I thought your reference to a telephone call to "IR" was to ALDN's internal investor relations office, not to an outside firm; that is, I thought you were talking directly to ALDN. I was only saying that neither company had filed anything with the SEC lately which might indicate officially whether they are up to something. Lack of such a filing usually indicates one of two things: nothing is going on OR something is going on but nobody inside is talking publicly. I went on to say that, until I knew whether the current silence resulted from the former or the latter, I, personally, would sit tight and listen for a sound indicating which was the case before making an investment decision. I characterized their behavior as curious, not strange, although either condition warrants further watching because companies often do not say anything when they are, indeed, up to something. But like you, I'm surprised you got no comment on things that, as prior posts here show, were public knowledge in formal year-end filings. My suggestions on why you didn't were ruminations, not explanations.
In sum, I think the two of us are arguing about whether we see the trunk of an elephant or an elephant's trunk, but there's no doubt we are looking at the front end of the same large, gray animal that certainly has some interesting characteristics (haha). Regards, Harry |
