WTF - Why is zEN now selling masks

Is this not bass akwards? Why take on all the iretail risks nventory, distribution, sales teams and all other associated expenses?? One of the reasons for investing in zen is the low cost of running an IP only company -  not become the LuLu lemon of the mask industry.

I dont like this at all - can someone talk me off the ledge.

NOT ONE Opinion - you are all fine with this?

I think they said they were going to do this. it would cost a lot more if they had to manufacture the  masks. At this time I have no problem with it. The sales force they already have so this gives more customers to contact. If the the hvac turns out then they will have even more. I think they need to come out and reconfirm they  are in line to get a patent ,at this moment there is some ...more

I respect your opinion but no no no no no no NO. You licence the product to the manufacturer and just sit back. Have you ever hear Mr. Wonderful Kevin Oleary speak - the zen business model is ripe for just licencing and collecting. No costs.What are they going to manufacture everything (masks, HVAC filters, cement, road tar. This is crazy.. Your points are valid on the other topic but on this ...more

I respect you comments I just don't think this is a wrong decision; more importantly is the patent. Yes I know Kevin he is not right all the time no one is.

There was an exposee on mr wunderful years ago , wish I could find it. Since his lucky shot with sucking Mattel into buying his kiddy game software, he's had a long string of losers. He's about as successful as trump was with casinos,universities,even Toronto real estate. Mr big mouth, legends in their own minds. And this guy pompously preaching to you, GasBuddy, is a wannabe. So my humble ...more

If you're not sure why you can't remember you dislike Kevin, go to his Wikipedia page and read right to the bottom. Watch how lawsuits seem to follow him everywhere. Keep going to the drunken tragedy in muskoka. Very sad. Nope, not a good mentor for 99% of us but gas, aka sunshine ,is more of a 1%.

I believe it's commonly referred to as "vertical integration". Why limit your margins to supplying the ZenGuard coating to a mask manufacturer, just to have them apply it and then significantly mark it up and sell it for larger profit margins? Makes sense to buy quality masks (for cheap) and add their own product, and sell them themselves.  The facility is Guelph is ...more

What a schmuck. Why not ask your other alias "sunsetgrill" to weigh in. You can give yourself a pat on the back like you did on the mine board. You all may as well just put both his usernames on ignore like we have on the art board before he starts the vulgar name calling.
