ITS vision

wilander-As you are living in past and have no vision of the importance of semi-conductors in licensing is fine with me and i have no further comments to make to you.

But what I must address is your NEGATIVE COMMENTS re QTRH and its ITS>
You have very little knowledge about ITS and QTRH vision for future in this area and your uninformed , lack of knowledge in this area  should not be commented by you unless you have something.of merit to add..

I will now address your four negative comments:

Point 1 " As for ITS there still needs lots of proof needed. Barely started it"

Ok-with respect to barely started, I will provide you proof by  dealing with ETC first and then IRD.

ETC -ETC commenced operations  in 1999. rated #3 of top15 toll authorities in US and global provider.  2 Billion toll transactions and  most technically advanced toll Authority in industry.
3 billion revenue, 93 million transactions,1500 lanes installed.
Executive Management Brett Kidd- 25 years leadership intech with emphasis of transportation.
Brett Kidd is on Executive Management of QTRH.   Bruce Crammer -25years of managment in tech transportation.
-In order to ensure continuity of Managment , QTRH viaPaul Hill negotiated a long term employment contract with Brett to ensure his commitment to ETC.
In addition Brett Kidd and his senior managment were give large stock options.  Brett 475,000 and 425 ,000 to Bruce Cramer and other Executives.
EBIDTA  of 12 to 15 annually was stated and I highly assume Paul& others did there due deligence on books for past few years.

Is this enough proof for you on point 1 for you on ETC??

Now IRD.-IRD was estblished in 1980 as worldleader in customized technology for ITS industry including Toll collection, TrafficData and motor safety.  IRD vision statement -Todevelop Intelligent trans system.  Managment by Malhotra who has vested interestof 320,800 shares owned.
IRD reported 2.7 million EPIDTA in Q2 and 4.1 for 6 month ended June 30.
Record backlong reported as at Sept30. satisifed on IRD proof?

Point 2.

"Just took on 57.5 debt to make it grow .
This debt was unsecured debentures with interest and originally amount oversubscribed quickly with prospect of conversion at $3.80.
wilander neither you or I know purpose and use of of funds yet you are quick to  negative aspect to it.  If acquistion is like ETC would be great and nothing wrong with DD before announcing deal.

Point 3 -" You are incredibly naive to think we are anywhere near proving it"


You are the one who is naive and does not understand ITS technology and vision of future. Read Infrastrcture report by Bidden  re bridges,tolls.

In summary ,your vision re wilan is posted re future of licensing in semis is accepted but disagreed.  YOU CAN LIVE IN PAST.

But when it comes to ITS please refrain from comments without merit - wilander

 

ITS Transportation is vision of future and I am fully invested for vision WITH qtrh.  To bad you won't be here for ride and your stated intention is to leave after Apple.

 Those  Were Rather  Astute Comments,  May  I  Say?  I  THINK  I  WILL  KEEP  MY  REMAINING  SHARES  FOR  AWHILE  LONGER. Thank  U.

Geez Astutein.  Are you foaming at the mouth.  Chill out a bit.
Comment by cabbieJBJ on Nov 26, 2021 9:00am
well said Astutein on the ITS business.
Comment by wilander on Nov 26, 2021 9:18am
Astutein, you are impossible to even read. You need a translator. I cant even respond to that gibberish. Not that I care to. Best to just not try and engage with me.  Put me on ignore. Astute, you are not. lol
Comment by cabbieJBJ on Nov 26, 2021 9:31am
Wilander, let me help you.  Astutein thinks that ITS is the business for QTRH to be focused on and that it already has a solid footprint in tolling and enforcement segments of ITS.  He also prefers that Wilan fund future ITS acquisitions from its world class semiconductor portfolio licensing revenue.  He would rather see those revenues comming in on an ongoing, annual (lumpy) basis ...more

Good thing he has a sidekick cabbie   ;)   He needs it.
Comment by cabbieJBJ on Nov 26, 2021 10:03am
he adds more to the conversation than you do Wilander
Comment by wilander on Nov 26, 2021 10:15am
Because I am no longer a pure cheerleader, cabbie. I get it.   You used to like me and my postings. But only when it backs your pollyanna views up. No room for dissention. lol LIke I said. We both want this to do well. To both make money. I want my long awaited bite of the Apple and move on.  You want to give them yet another chance beyond that.  Both plans work. I hope ...more  
Comment by Lazaros on Nov 26, 2021 10:54am
To be fair Wilander, you also allowed no room for dissension for a very long time. Anytime someone would question management, you were quick to pounce and would claim anyone saying anything bad must be a short. Now that your views have changed, you are more open to negative comments simply because they align with your beliefs. Can we get back to discussing the company and not each other? If you ...more

I wasnt being personal until cabbie started poking with his snide little side remarks.  And yes, I gave them far too much credit for far too long.  I admit it. I was wrong. But I wont miss out on the Apple carrot after all these years of waiting!
Comment by cabbieJBJ on Nov 26, 2021 11:29am
You must work for Stockhouse Wilander.  I put you on ignore and there you are...still here. I'll try again.
Comment by wilander on Nov 26, 2021 11:47am
You must work for Wilan. Since you never waver no matter what stares you in the face. Keep pom pomming. At least you'll be sure to get the huge Apple bounce. I will too.
