ramman1, I must admit that I am warming up more to your opinion of this company in particular our man DD. Therefore I must also admit being to harsh and judgemental of your opinion in the past. For that I do apologize.
DD does not walk on water and has dropped the ball a few times this year in my view. Maybe my expectations are too high and my patience level is too low. That is on me to figure out and decide if i want to continue to be a shareholder in GateKeeper. The Kid had a great point, if you don't like how the Ceo runs the show, then move on.
I do not like the lack of transparency, neither does the institutional boys. In my opinion that is why they stay uninvested to this point. To my knowledge Doug has never given preliminary results in the past, so why now? And if your going to do that, then be transparent and tell the whole story. Christ people will except that honesty, stop acting like the politicians of this country.
Okay so it's clear, the investment in the sales team has not paid off. (Yet) We can all agree on that much right?? The question is why not?? Giving the benefit of the doubt, we know that contract bids are slow to develope into real PO's it takes time. Or the sales team simply sucks. Let's face it folks, what our man talked about at the begining of 2024 has not transpired.
In DD's defense probably out of his control, that's business sometimes. But don't expect the markets or shareholders to feel sorry for you, this is about making money as an investor. Money has no emotional attachment until you lose it. This is a wake up call if indeed DD thought these were good results as another poster eluded to. Lastly please quit publically stating that your management team is holding meetings on how you can reach a hundred million market cap, when your not even close to fifty.
Okay that's my piece, now go easy on the old timer, it's just an opinion.
