Are you as bored with YTB as I am? Why won't this company just give up – their stock is trading at .10 on the OTCBB – an exchange typically reserved for bogus gold mining stock or electric bicycle companies.
But of course you can't criticize them or one of the whiny Tomers will write a withering public letter attacking their so-called attackers. My prediction? Out of business in 18 months.
If you lost money with this company – as almost everyone who got involved did – I sympathize. Just don't let it happen again with YTB 2.0.
Apparently they've elected three new board members – Thomas B. Baker, Jr., Jack H. Humes, Jr., and Patricia S. Williams. Mr. Baker apparently previously served on the Board of Directors of EVCO National, a national painting company! Check out their website here – I'm assuming he didn't advise on website design. And their national headquarters looks more like a 60s era suburban home.
