And so suddenly Sharp Spring is a small publicly traded company, which comes with some great benefits and a lot of overhead.

But it's been a hell of a ride.

So it's interesting.

But yeah, we didn't go public in the traditional sense, but we are

We are public and listed on the NASDAQ and so forth.

No, we have a pretty broad we have a pretty broad group of investors right now.

And so I think, you know, just looking out there at what's public, there's no there's not many investors, if anybody.

I may be the single largest investor at this point.

Um, within the company.

So nobody owns more than, you know, six, eight, 10% of the, of the company, um, no individual investor.

And so, you know, we're not, uh, necessarily worried about that at all.

We certainly get, um, all sorts of interest in the company because of the performance of the company.

We're doing pretty darn well out there and, and, uh, uh,

a pretty interesting space.

And so, um, we definitely get a lot out of, um, of interest, but it's, it's not, uh, something in the sense of, uh, that we're worried about it from a hostile perspective.

Um, I think that that's possible.

Um, I think it's highly unlikely for a lot of reasons for, for one, um, when you're dealing with companies, our size, it's very difficult for you to purchase that many shares and, and have it not move the needle.

Um, and so it becomes potentially prohibitively expensive.

But what I'd really like to believe is that any company, um,

A company is really as good as its people.
