With volume of 2.5m today, I really don't see a "sell out" to any degree. Some guy in Brisbane may have come back to work today after the long weekend and just wanted his (small amount of) cash in another investment.
I believe that OBJ could spend the next month doing "roadshow presentations" and the share price would not move outside of the same range that it has been in for the last month. The roadshow would literally be what the last Shareholder Update (28 April) was, some talk about the Second Technology (that they can't really discuss) and BodyGuard (which they can't even mention the partner).
Sorry, I just don't see the point in standing infront of institutional managers and saying "oh, I can't go into detail on that" and "well, things are progressing and we will be able to answer you soon" and "um, revenue is confidential right now". Institutions already know OBJ has been around for a while and is a company that has a technology that could go well (so OBJ says), but the scoreboard is still pretty empty. Analysts want detail, they want the background to how revenue comes in and where it is coming from next, what are your profit margins, what are your forecasts for the next FY. Answering these questions, at this time, is not able to be done easily. OBJ need to have something to give analysts that will make them sit up and take notice - currently they aren't able to say enough to be able to do that. Maybe I don't understand how these things work? If I have missed the mark, let me know.
Give OBJ time to get a few more products on the shelves, the Second Technology progressing to where its future can be mapped out and discussed openly and where BodyGuard has been shown to be successfully trialed, then there will be something to stand up and brag about.
As a shareholder I am happy with where OBJ is at and the shareholder information. While it hasn't been outstanding, it has been ok. If I wasn't happy, I would sell and put my money elsewhere. I have no desire to email OBJ or think about new board members or berate them for their communications. OBJ will shortly have four P&G products on the shelf, progress on more P&G products will have been made, the Second Technology will be progressed and an announcement of another license is not out of the question. OBJ is moving forward, slowly but surely. Having worked in a corporate environment, I have first hand knowledge of the time, effort, disappointment, elation and shear frustration that goes into getting these sort of deals progressing through a large corporation. Finally getting a contract signed and actual work commencing is no small task! Given time, some reasonable deals and a little luck, OBJ is still poised to gain a strong and consistent royalty revenue stream - it has started with a drip and the tap is slowly being turned on. If razors and surface hygiene get picked up and marketed, the tap will not stop flowing. But, as I said, these things take time.
I realise that everyone is different - we all have different ways focusing on our investment and how we see them. But sometimes I feel that going back to basics of reading the company's own reports, announcements and updates can get rid of any bias (positive or negative) and help to gain some clarity. Things tend to get repeated on HC and they become the new normal, which can be a little dangerous if they have little basis - one person's perception with many thumbs up may be less than 50% correct. I would encourage any HC members to
re-read the recent OBJ Market Announcements.
