RE:Retail investors getting the backseat?

RE:Retail investors getting the backseat?Pivotal year for Toby and company.

Can they translate the value that has been gained over the past five years, and translate that into SHAREHOLDER VALUE through stock appreciation...this year.

Through the sale of assets - what will Toby do (this year) to reward longterm investors in this company for staying invested over the past 5+ years. Or will he continue to leave them hanging - and exiting one by one.

Or is that what he (and majority stakeholders) want? Thus buying up shares at lower prices and playing the very long game and waiting retail investors out while he continues to issue/buy shares to himself, family, and friends, and executives? What is a reasonable timeline is the question? The stock price is where it was at 5 years ago. Where is the give and take? 

If they choose not to provide SHAREHOLDER VALUE through stock appreciation (or until the time is right for the 50%+ insiders) - what's the point in being public? This will be a never ending cycle where CIBT goes to LP investors for capital and thus reap all the benefits versus CIBT accessing capital markets through public shares and provding liquidity for institutional investors to jump in.

Toby needs to gain trust (that has been lost over the past five years through over-promising and under-delivering), communicate clearly, and be honest about timelines with investors, and what are the real benefits to staying in the game for this year, two years, five, and ten+ years. What is the risk/reward scenario for retail investors? 

Just adding to the two cent conversations...
