The signs were there12 Feb 2019 11:58
As many of you have alluded to, the signs were there. Fiona jumping ship with a seemingly huge amount of options available to her made absolutely no sense, and was a big red flag. The explanation that she wanted to spend more time with her family was poor. If that was true, why did she take up other positions?
I find the quality of the RNS was also poor, with little comfort or guidance for the future or "whats next?". I guess that Fiona was more of a story teller, whereas Martin is more of a hard facts guy.
Many criticizing posters for being fantasizers - this is a little silly. Obviously investors posting here have bought the stock as they believed the opportunity that existed, and so are bound to be positive about their investment. Of course, the "herd mentality" is a little bit dangerous and I guess that many of us are now thinking: "I kind of saw this coming a few months ago, and the red flags were there for all to see, and yet I didn't follow my gut and sell". For me its only a loss if I don't learn from it.
For those mentioning how the mcap is way too low due to cash being in the bank, it is absolutely irrelevant if that cash is going to be p*ssed up against a wall.
In summary, I have a lost a huge amount of confidence in anything linked to JP, Marco et al. If I don't see some firm guidance from them on how things will be turned around in the next few days, I will be putting together my exit strategy.
