What has the company done wrong? 1) Is it bad business to cut employees and overhead by consolidating the offices of several business components? 2) Is it bad business to eliminate or postpone projects that can't now or won't be productive until down the road? 3) Is it bad business to take the one component that was unlike all of the rest, Laptop Solutions, and secure its future with a deal such as the one made with Panasonic? 4) Is it bad business to nail down top-notch executives who can lead the company into the future? And to continue seeking qualified individuals as the job ads so indicate? 5) Is it bad business to concentrate on the specifics of a 50 million dollar private placement and a major merger deal that will lead a futuristic company onto Nasdaq in a sector where virtually all internet-related stocks boom the moment they're discovered? 6) Is it bad business to assure that Zulu members take control of the business combination by assuming control over both boards of directors prior to the merger? 7) Is it bad to release an audit prematurely when there may well be a greater strategic fit--that we don't know about--for its release? (Remember, we don't yet know the details behind this.) Gees, it's when the executive leadership fails to the point of little or no hope that we should begin hollering and screaming for their heads; not when this team is just getting going. My gosh, was it bad for the Mets to lose so many seasons? Sure it was. But it didn't take them too, too long before they amazingly captured the hearts and souls of the entire country by finally winning the World Series? Were the Mets trying to win? Yes. Is Zulu trying to win? Yes. Are points one through seven above really all that bad? I don't think so. Seems to me like a proven business direction. Why won't you let it evolve as it will on its own merits? Sure the company controls its fate, but remember this fate, for the moment, is still resigned into the hands of BB: market makers and will remain so until these market makers have no other choice. And isn't that always the way it is with an OTC:BB penny stock? And aren't the risks inherent to everyone, given that it is a penny stock? I mean it's nice to demand everything now. And oh, wouldn't I like to be able to do that. But you can't. I can't. An investor with a good eye would see the value of points one through seven above, I believe. And notwithstanding the perpetual comments of Jon Tara, I believe understanding the points above exemplifies good DD. I remind you, it's easy to sit on the sidelines. But it's much more difficult to be involved.
