I dont blame mgt really, IMO DRO turned into a bit of a meme stock when those US soldiers were unfortunately killed by a drone last year. dont follow it much but i did note the SP was up more than NVDA, and that is a real feat!

They all sold out much earlier (around 60-70c).

I remember @Strawman asking Oleg about his sale and Oleg said something along the lines of ‘having not taken a salary he wanted to take some money after 10yrs’ or or something to this effect.

As that sale happened at around half the present share price he left a lot on the table. This to me indicates he had no idea the share would run as it did - much like anyone who invested.

Their current options (at least for Oleg) has an action linked to 200m in revenue(?).

On different forum sites I visit this has been a constant gripe from holders, non-holders, want to be holders and probably those who missed the run from 60c to 2.70 and back down to 1.20.

A lot of noise out there which, is not unexpected with one of the can I say “meme” or is better to say “well supported” or “well mentioned” stock in the investing and non-investing world.

@NewbieHK , it is all very interesting.

The last 3 annual reports show Oleg’s renumeration as:

Up to 31/12/21:  $307k + $150k cash incentive. Total cash $457k. All up including share benefits $962k

Up to 31/12/22:  $306k   All up including share benefits $516k

Up to 31/12/23:  $330k + $495k performance bonus.  Total cash $825k. All up including share benefits $2.8m.

Maybe Oleg is speaking in today's parlance “his own truth” if he did say something along the lines of:  “….have not taken a salary”.

And I guess that is the concern - what Oleg the Unassuming says and what is the reality. 

@Scoonie clearly I miss-recalled. Presently, laid up in bed with Influenza. I am guessing the brain fog from this “man cold” is the super variant and is affecting me worse than I thought.
