RE:RE:RE:hmmmm
upon greater reflection my ramblings are beginning to clarify things in my mind - sorry for using the bull boards as my sounding board lol.
The failure of Robyn to go along with wall street's status quo (robbing retail shareholders) is the major sticking point. The massive dilution that wall street would advocate in this scenario is going to result in Robyn's friends and family ultimately taking sizable losses on this investment. Robyn is trying to reward retail shareholder wih generous returns for capitilizing the project with their initial investment and for holding the stock for years (God forbid that retail shareholders gets rewarded). Most CEOs could not give a $hit about retail shareholders and would $crew over those IPO investors while denegrating them for being too stupid to play wall street's game and deserving to be bag holders for this stupidity. Given the grass roots nature of the initial investment - Robyn runs the risk of dissapointing many folks that are close to him hence his great desire to do the right thing and not throw retail shareholders under the bus for the investment bankers. Ha Ha a CEO behaving in a way that rewards share holders - refreshing even if it is more out of necessity due to the large skins in the game of him personally and many folks he knows and whom he depended upon to get this off the ground.
