The value of a business today is the sum of all the money it will make in the future.

my experience with the company,part 1.........
looking but no touching.
it all started many many many moons ago,the company looked and acted like a dog with flea. the only consistent outcomes were losses,more losses, and losses galore,lasted over a decade since 2004 spac.ooouuuchhh. one number that troubled me or any sensible investors,was the salaries and wages on the expense side of the book,which always hovered around 50% of the topline,and stayed constant with increased topline.oouuccchhhhhh. this dog can be summarized on 2017(calendar year?) and prior with one word: toxic or "looking but no touching".

for some reason things started to change post 2017,the hemorrhaging of expense side of the book seemed being checked by a newly formed management team and bingo,the dog with controllable flea is here to stay.wooooooowwwww. so ever slowly,the flea started going away and this dog finally saw its first worthwhile record profit in q4 2023 fiscal year. wooooooooowwwww.soon after,the company moved to pay down its debt from above $1.5 million down toward $1.25 million,and restructured its debt.woooooowwwwwwww.its cash level went from a historical average of $50k to close to $300k.wooooowwwww.

to summarize 2004 to 2017:
watching the paint dry in a raining season
toxic
"looking but no touching"
had you not done the above,money down the drain.oooouuucccccchhhhhhhh.

to be continued.
