Firstly I have to say I am not blindly committed to this company or any other, no matter what it does. That would be entirely self-defeating from an investors point of view. I have been involved with several companies for which I have seen the writing on the wall and sold out within half an hour. I include MJP, CPV, SPL, and SE1 to name just a handful. And I have saved myself a lot of heartache - and a lot of cash - by doing so. In each case the technical details revealed stuff I judged would rapidly undermine the story being put out, and in each case I was absolutely correct in my assessment. I am also warily eying a couple of my other holdings as we speak. But when I coldly and rationally look at AKP I do not see anything that disturbs me comparably. I hold AKP because my assessment of it is that it will become a successful generator of substantial revenue and capital value in fairly short order. Not as short as I had hoped but soon enough to suit my investment theses. Am I infallible? Absolutely not. Have I made losses? Absolutely. Peter Lynch is quoted as having said, "in this business if you are good, you're right 6 times out of 10, but you're never going to be right 9 times out of 10." My track record is that I have increased the net value of my investment many times over, over more than a decade of investing, despite all losses.
As to being patronising I would turn that claim right back onto you. You are casting doubt without providing any shred of evidence or even any research to back it up, or even to point to anything other than sentiments of fear and suspicion. I call it patronising to presume that AKP investors with any experience in the market are going to fall for such nameless and groundless innuendos whose entire aim seems intended to undermine their confidence despite their continual reassessment of all available evidence.
I love this comment below. It just simply drips with poison. It would be entirely at home in a fantasy movie with wizards and orcs and worm tongues.
"... But I cant help feeling now that I've had this interaction with you -where its clear that your belief and loyalty in and to the company is absolute, unyielding and unbreakable....that perhaps you are finding the facts to FIT the belief ? And the greater the minutiae found and over-analysed, the more reinforced the belief becomes and the more resentful and patronising of anyone who might cast a doubt over the belief. Just a thought. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong. ..."
Yeah right, I'm sure you do. Very public spirited of you.
As to my quote, it is from the Christian Bible, Genesis Chapter 3, where the serpent, later to be known as Lucifer, sought to undermine the explicit basis of a vital trust relationship that ensured no less than the wellbeing of whole of humanity. His method? Simply to sow the seeds of doubt in the good will and trustworthiness of humanity's chief benefactor, and water them with seeming kindly concern, and hope something "good" comes of it. Good for himself that is.
I have to say, this is a great laugh, but you really are not concealing your intentions very well.
