I am not to sure about this. In my oppinion many of the people on this forum seem to be excellent with lots of various experiences. I don't necessarily buy that the management of the company has more skills and knowledge than what many of the forum members have. And look, many of us as well as many in the management role of the company have lost lots on money on Kodiak, smarts does not guarantee pay dirt.
Basically what I am trying to say is that the skills and experience of a good managment team does not necessarily lead to good things to come, sometimes luck is even more important.
