A New Strategy

Strategy1
Recently I posted on making a case for dividends as a strategy to incentivise the retention of shareholders and also remunerate shareholders, many of which are longterm with quarterly dividends in addition to buyback, retention of funds or very limited funding of PDSG with the possibility of them becoming a going concern.
Strategy 2
Already developed by the BOD was to have Eclat/Attain jumpstart PDSG with the Federal Government. The government was determined to be the best source of money in the fields which PDSG can enter. We can only hope that this is a great strategy to finally make this a profitable enterprise.
Strategy 3
Strategy 1 and 2 will be decided by the BOD and Cliff Flowers. It is important to me that they make these decisions sooner, rather than later. Unfortunately, too bad for me, everything MUST wait until the MMP is OK'd by PTO before they can announce what they will do because this will begin to dictate the flow of funds coming into PTSC.
Therefore, I think there is a third and last strategy which MUST precede all other strategies. With an approved MMP, do we not need a powerful partner to ram rod this through the business world to get people on board or can basically one entity, the Leckrones, take on the most powerful corporations in the world to pay up or else. I would think many of these corporations have taken on David's before and made mince meat out of them. I would think the Leckrones had thought about this but conceivably they are "in the weeds" fighting to get one business after another to pay up(survival mode) and they cannot afford to look at the big picture. I have no idea.
An approved MMP by PTO is all we as shareholders can hope for now to get the ball rolling. Court cases won will also be an attention getter. This also is time consuming.
In the interim, I think the Leckrones and our BOD need to develop this third and most important strategy to get everyone to pay up in a timely fashion. It may require strength that is not possessed by TPL Group/Alliacense. This 4th partner to go along with TPL, PTSC, PDS (the litigators) will be costly but could command the attention of everyone and bring the focus we desire that we will never get as an OTC penny pincher and a small private group, TPL. The funds flowing in could still be tremendous and it would allow Strategies 1 and 2 to take place. Just a thought and all in my opinion.
