RE:RE:RE:Kontrol tweetI know everyone goes insane when we don't get a tweet or NR from Paul for more than a few days, but honestly, these "here's what we intend to do over the next few weeks" kind of NR's and tweets seem to have neglibile tangible effect on the SP. If anything, they almost seem to hurt it as they basically signal to the investors that nothing of substance is going to happen in the meantime. I know individual investors like the communication, but other stocks I hold seem to climb up higher sometimes based on the scarcity of information - knowing that something is coming sometime and could come anytime, but not knowing when. As for manufacturing, yes I think you are right. They rushed a prototype to market, and then realized during the preparation for manufacturing that there were some obvious improvements to be made - thus the confusion in the past over different stated timelines for shipping. The Ontario funding annoucement was an awesome development, and surely must be signs of things to come, but in the meantime, i suppose you are right - Paul will continue to blow sunshine up our butts. At least he means well. Looking forward to the customer case usages to come in the next couple weeks at least.

I still wonder about the sales though. I have no doubt some are coming, and probably some fairly sizeable ones, but it seems from the recent focus of the NR's and tweets, that we still shouldn't expect any sales NR's for a few weeks. It seems like we must have "some" sales, as the recent NR mentioned demonstrations of existing customer set-ups. However, the customers can't be too numerous as they also mentioned they would be highlighting set-ups within companies that are doing trial runs, and I just can't see any need to be doing that unless they don't have enough existing customers at the moment.
I think it is pretty clear that they don't have many sales, otherwise why would they be doing these useless video demos?
But I am not overly worried that there isn't demand, I just think they haven't made many yet, and Paul has been blowing sunshine up our butts.
I get the feeling Paul simply severely underestimated how long it would take OES to create the framework to even begin to ramp up production. And now we know that they have been changing the design on the fly, even as they are trying to get product out the door.
Of course that brings up another issue. Will the buyers who got the "prototypes" demand the upgrades that the newer versions have, and what will that cost us?
Lots of questions that we will likely never get answers to. So all we can hope for is that Paul gets his chit together and quits over-promising and under-delivering.
