KPS...have you ever checked out http://www.vistaprint.com/
? or http://www.dundermifflin.com/
I've checked out 7 or 8 paper mills in this country, none of them do index cards, and most of them want to sell by the roll (so I'm not really able to buy from them). About those two websites you mentioned, vistaprint takes me to a holding page (not a real site) and dundermifflin is in the states. I can't use them. The more local the better in terms of cost. The local shop I am dealing with now is probably going to be able to cut me a deal (pun intended), I will have more news next week.
WHAT IF, instead of taking say 2700 or 2500 shares (20%) all at once, I just pay myself, say, 100 shares a month?
This is a rather small wage for a CEO.
You're one of the largest shareholders, as I recall. What do you feel would be more appropriate? If 100 is "rather small" I am imagining 200 or 300 a month might be more appropriate. How would you feel about 200 then? What I can do is go with 200 shares first, and gauge the market month to month. If we're doing a good job I might go as high as 300, but I don't think that would be appropriate given current market conditions.
You have to remember that it may seem like a small fee now, but these shares could be worth a lot of money someday. Don't underestimate what will happen to KNS shares. Look at KPS, for a taste of what I will do with KNS. Remember. It is very important to drink upstream from the herd. Drinking upstream from the herd
tastes better than drinking downstream from the herd. Word to the wise.
