If we cant ask how stuff works, we cant determen how much we must invest and how long. That why I asked to send out a shareholder letter. Build confidence. If a company doesnt communicate, that's mostly because there isn't much to talk about. A good question would be the example i gave of DAC and 800G+ cable. S7 has the answers, and IR can help us with that.
The first book I ever read on investing read Peter Lynch's One Up on Wall Street. That was circa 1987. In it, he talks about how, if you want to get as close as you can, legally, to inside information, you must talk your way past Investor Relations and sort of trick them into telling you what's really going on inside the company, because they Rarely will take the time to divulge to a small investor every detail.
I believe Peter Lynch. Investor Relations does NOT reveal ANYTHING to any investor Individually before making it public broadly in a press release. That would open them up to litigation.
