Linda actually just bought a little not too long ago. So, not sure she’s a seller anytime soon. But, I need to be honest. I really liked Linda. I viewed her as one of those high quality CEOs you rarely see at the microcap level. I’m surprised/saddened she’s moved on from $KRMD, although she’s exiting at the top of some of her accomplishments at the company. •Pharma partner platform •Product innovation (high volume infusion, pre-filled syringes) •Reaching profitability, although minor. This is where I was hoping to see better traction (been a while since i looked, but not sure if they hit original timeline on gross margin target). All and all, KRMD is a recurring revenue machine. I’m surprised no one has bought them yet. The new CEO looks legit, but I would have loved to have seen Thomas Patton involved in the company, at least at the Board level. He never seemed interested whenever I brought it up - when the founder and Board were battling. So much of what he has touched has turned into home runs and in exits… Although $ECOR didn’t quite workout, but to be fair, he was only on the Board. His CEO record is impeccable. @ipo_candy @MoneyMarkStocks @neilcataldi - Tom should be your next call.
