Again, whoever is writing the Havelock response to these legitimate and IMPORTANT concerns is more than a little tone-deaf, and in my estimation you are proving that every time you ignore, duck, try to rationalize, and in some cases just fabricate a non-answer you show that Havelock either doesn't KNOW how to communicate honestly and effectively with its investor base or, worse, you just don't CARE. But I do--it's my cash on the line with this investment! We are not nearly as dumb as you seem to think we are--we follow the Bitcoin markets too.
The relationship between Havelock's revenue and expense streams and the US dollar is NOT mentioned in your Prospectus, either as a risk factor or anywhere else. If you think it is please cite the page and paragraph in your Prospectus where you discuss this connection, because I can't find it. The only factor which is relevant is that you state that your growth and investor demand for your services is important. I have absolutely no way of knowing from your first quarterly report how, or even if, HIF is seeing any real growth. It seems not. Investor demand for your services (funds) is going to dry up real quick if you don't do a much better job communicating openly and honestly with us. Immediately.
I compared Havelock's daily total 24-hour volume in BTC for the past six weeks (February 22 to April 10) to the US$ price of Bitcoin. The correlation coefficient is 0.13 and insignificant, which means that there IS no demonstrated relationship between these two data series. Your last lame explanation is simply wrong--whatever problems HIF is having with sales or expenses has nothing to do with the US$ price. You have failed to answer every one of the "trend" questions I posed earlier, but they won't go away just because Havelock is choosing to ignore them.
I know that startups are very risky, and I expected this investment to have some unanticipated problems. But I never thought that the sponsor--Havelock--would itself become one of the worst risk factors by deliberately failing to supply important information and in some cases actually obfuscating its own message. I actually believed that you would follow the communication model set by your sister fund, HMF, with monthly reporting. Any way to get the manager for HMF to assume responsibility for communicating with HIF investors?
?? We would all be better off.
