black, I know we have very different investment strategieswhere I like to rely on verifiable fact-based due diligence, and you like to rely on banter from the good ole boys club dd, but in the event you ever want to actually refer to audited corporate disclosure, here is some reading material for you.
When the corporations reported significant highlights for 2023 are financings, is there really anything else that needs to be said?
Btw, even though the compensation structure is now more complicated than it needs to be, I highlighted a comment for you that should bring you the warm and fuzzies… As I have said several times, kudos to the execs for their financial contributions.............
Your welcome
