How would you know if anything you are told is true, partly true or total BS. I wouldn't know because there's no way to confirm anything. You end up having to wait and see if he delivers on the business plan and judge by the results. It's been over 8 years and still no asset sale. I think calling the office has limited value but if you feel better then it works for you. The other companies I talk to are very limited in what they say because they can't reveal insider information. Remember, anything said in a phone call is off the record and they can't be held accountable.
