Some rambling thoughts

Some rambling thoughts

Hi all,

Just a few thoughts to throw out there:

1. Why do we pay our CEO such a high salary? As he has no 'skin in the game', should we not be linking his salary with the performance of the shares? We long-term shareholders have been slaughtered!

2.  The company now appears to be consistently profitable. Why are they not using the generated cash to either buy up shares on the open market (surely they are ridiculously cheap based on projected earnings). This would have the benefit of reducing the float and increasing the value of all our shares. If they ever had to raise money in the future, they could do so at a higher price, thereby limiting further dilution. 

3. If they have no interest in purchasing shares, why not cut administrative costs, so as to increase profitability and issue dividends?

4. If there is no appettite to launch the product into lots of other countries, how about licensing the technology to a bunch of companies operating in the GI space around the world. This would give us a smaller piece of a much larger pie, but would enhance profitability and hence, the share price.

5. Anyone have any ideas on how to more rapidly accelerate growth and acceptance of the technique amongst GI's and general surgeons?
