Hello Suzanne,
I think most men are unable to fully comprehend the "charm" possessed by women. Sometimes charm and wiliness are synonymous... now there's a typical male response.
Thanks for your efforts.
I would like to see "institutional, semi-permanent financing", if that means non-dilutive investment/purchase of a piece of TSIG. All over the radio these days disparate e-commerce companies are calling themselves an "IBM company"; what underlies this advertising pitch is that IBM provides e-commerce solutions for these companies. Well, that sounds just like what John Hwang and company intend to provide to the world, with Microsoft technology, which we are hearing over and over again. (See Fred Thornell's eSuite/eSolution post) Many large technology companies take a piece of small, promising companies, and there's no reason why TSIG shouldn't face a similar situation. Perhaps something of this nature will come to pass. I'd hate to surrender control of the company, though, we've too much on the horizon.
Regarding company candor as to finances, I'd like to believe your latter proffer, "a company desperately scrambling to keep its head above water." Sometimes you got to do what you got to do, but you don't go bragging to your friends, at least not the ones you want to keep.
I'd like to see more openess in the future, and as our situation improves - supposing that will be the case - what management has to do won't be so odious; better to borrow from your neighbors than someone everybody calls Don, even though his name is Vic.
Credibility is something TSIG.com has to build among current shareholders, and I really don't think there are many of us. Golin-Harris will take the word to institutional/larger investors, but it is current management that must convince we longtime, smalltime, individual investors of their intention to increase shareholder value.
To that end, two avenues are suggested: a voice of credible reason on the BOD, a voice of the people, responsive to legitimate concerns of the shareholders, and; a statement by RG that will engender the faith of shareholders. I think RG has done a commendable job in developing this company, and I've no problem with compensation, or over-compensation under the right conditions. A telephone conference is probably logistically possible, but a shareholder meeting, face-to-face is preferable.
Well, these are just some thoughts.
Best, Tim |
