RE:As soon asI'm not going to comment on everything you wrote, but here are a few thoughts:
- Re short sellers, they really missed the boat here. If they'd done this years ago, they could've made a killing. As it is, this is a very different company and their opportunity is quite time limited. They'll make some money before they move on. Not a big deal for me.
- The company has announced about 177 contracts since the "troubles". If a few fall off, or are inactive for a time during a world health crisis, that's not a big deal for me either.
- Re receivables, I look at this as part of the bigger picture. If the company says they've already done something very specific, like collect A/R older than one year, I'm inclined to think that's likely. If they say something about the future, like estimates or projections, I don't pay much attention. If they make statements about profitability or cash flow positivity, based on my own dealings with IR where they have a different concept of these things than I do, I tend to wait until I see the financials. So, getting back to receivables, I'm inclined to think we'll see sufficient INCREASED collections (after all, they did collect something in the neighbourhood of a half a million dollars in fQ2) to satisfy some here. I do expect and want to see A/R going up as the business ramps, but I do want to see collections normalize.
- Re Bruce Campbell, I'd be surprised if he actually stuck around. After all, that's not his role in this drama, nor is it his M.O. Re analyst coverage, I never expect much for these small companies. If the historical revenue numbers show something compelling, the lemmings will show up eventually. These guys are generally risk-averse and don't want to be the first to dip a toe in.

Then...RHT stated that large hardware sale is on hold for now...so these clowns decide to short. Factors such as interest rate hikes, war, etc just feed right into the negative market sentiment.
People are anxious right now, and the dycks know this. Snippets from communications(alleged) with Blum and Max to help fuel the fire.
The biggest issue is that RHT NEVER EVER meets guidance. Why? well in the last few years there are many reasons to give a pass on that, BUT...the slack has got to tighten here.
The next financials will have to show that they did in fact collect aged recievables. If not, this stock will plummet. If so, then investors should feel a lot more secure. Gov't is painfully slow at paying out, so the lag in collections is not really an issue, b/c it will come. One could question why RHT would give such generous payment parameters during Covid when client's would have recieved payment from Gov't, but the delays in payment would have been extreme during Covid. People off sick, adjusting to working from home, and dealing with new medicare/medicaid codes, etc: Humans hate change and often are reluctant to adapt.
The chances of this getting to Nasdaq this year are about 1% IMO, and honestly mngt should not have entertained that idea this early.
I am wishing for the best but it does beg one to ask, if this tech is so great then what happened with Flying Doctors, and really what happened with Blum ( why are they not re-engaging? )
Why wasn't partnership with Reliq baked in with acquisition of (supposed) Co. that was going to buy hardware?
So, IMO stock price will be far less than stellar for another 6 mths at least, and then who knows?
Why no analyst coverage? Bruce disappeared. I mean there has got to be a reason for this
These are thoughts that I have as a long term investor who ACTUALLY believes they will one day succeed, and will remain long (although, patience is running very low now).
What is a new investor supposed to think?
