Like Bluebird bird wants to buy in. Then heck yes. I do believe landing a larger fund would help versus a partner. As for the sales team issues noted by the alternative ranman I do not see the tea leaves there. Sales for the last two years have been mainly remote/zoom as Naggy has stated. Conferences yes. Most sales visits would be flights and rentals as the bulk of business is down south. The little $300k acquisition that has given us 2 years of double digit millions in top end versus the 6-9 million years of way back. I place no weight on vehicle leases as a measure of sale force in a virtual and knowledge based world. Seems the thunder was silent in 2021. There was only 10 sales contracts announced for the entire year and most were small or trivial yet we did north of $17 million. 2022 is show time. Doug Dyment needs to remember it retail investors that have supported this company to date and retail investors do need regular news flow. Let's hope for more. When's the January sorts agenda posted again? I believe the 17 or 18th of the month..... GLTA.

It came from the unassuming davewho, and I quote him, “But I would really like to see our new directors step up and buy here. So far nothing that I can find on Sedi. If they start buying, I may add. Until then I wait.”
I concur totally with that view. The new directors have a nice perch where they sit, -quite the overview of the GSI dominions. Obviously, there is a fulfillment obligation expected of them when placed in that role and given the tumble in the share price recently I would be expecting to see a fair dollop of GSI shares show up in their holdings just to send a clear message that they’re onboard! Some sign of their belief in the company's prospects. I’m not referring to some phony window dressing purchase either. But if I didn’t see reports of them doing this on Sedi soon, I really would be scratching my head, especially from the level it’s selling at right now.
VerifiedUser123 said he would like to see Doug Dyment buy shares, - a sort of moral support. I disagree. He shouldn’t fiddle with the stock and I’m sure he won’t. He’s too smart for that. The shares should pull themselves up through the success of the company not from a crutch thrown to them by the CEO.
Anyway, davewho was the originator of that observation and I want to make sure he gets full credit for it.
