Man only 8 followers, brutal... Toby should stop wasting money on all these low quality online ads and these second rate stock promoters that offer zero value to the company as they have done next to nothing to expand the investor base or interest in this company

210 shares traded today...  Second rate promotion continues and zero buying interest.  When is the CEO going to do something?  Anything?  Years of absolutel futility.  No change.

They should ditch the investment firms like Thesis Capital which provodes zero value, stop the online and TV ads - also uselss, and cease the share buy back - let the market determine the equilibrium for the shares.  With the money saved, initiate a dividend.

agree, those real estate property actuaaly hurt valuation. I guess

A dividend is stupid.  I'd rather keep the money inside and get 30%/a compounding returns. Why stop the buyback.  Even if it's small, it's not like it's hurting anyone and it's good value. You guys need to take a capital allocation course.  You don't take money out of a business that is compounding to pay a dividend.  If you look at the MTYs and other ...more

Great points Tick, but I am not seeing 30% returns... in fact, our CEO should look at the last 4 years  that shareholders have endured...  that's called losing money in markets with tons of opportunity.  Time to deliver something, anything.

100% agree.  I've been twiddling my thumbs on this one.  It's frustrating to watch everything else go up and this is stalled.  But I think some stoic focus is required.  I know for a fact that when the bloomberg monitor types look at this, they pass pretty quick based on the financials.  You don't see the LP structure or see the real estate business unless you ...more

The Stoics who were named after "stoa"  those majestic columns in Greek architecture were habitually so still in their demeanour that I wonder if they even twiddled their thumbs.  Of course it depends on your personal circumstances, your patience and perseverance, age, time horizon etc. but at some point you have to heed the opportunity costs and putting your capital to best ...more

You're right, Stoicism teaches us to use logic and not succumb to emotions.  Things are neither good nor bad, only our thoughts make them so.  What happened is that the largest bull market in history, backed by money printing and low rates that focused on tech has created a new base rate for opportunity costs.  Focusing on stock prices over a bull market skews reality and our ...more
