Thats right. Dr Mike is indeed a seasoned pharma professional who I am in regular contact with, however. Even he is kept in the dark with the operations of the company who do not discuss certain matters with him and he's meant to be the chief scientific officer !!!!. He and the product go hand in hand hence why I invested long before the clowns came to town with their incompetence, lies and misinformation.
The clowns may have, as you correctly write, skin in the game, however. All Jamie's shares have either been given to him or he has purchased via placings at discounted prices and even as loans, where he will never lose, using money from his disgustingly oversized salary (how many other companies can you say have a CEO on a salary at such a huge % of market valuation ?). He has never bought shares on the open market as most other CEO's do to indicate support. The company is run as if it is a private enterprise given they changed the usual 5% requirement to call an EGM to 25% (now 20%), so nigh impossible to have anything changed. And Jim's investment was from pocket change through his annual income on what is it now, 1 billion squid ??? So how much skin just depends on where that skin comes from to give a certain incentive.
All you have to do to gauge the incompetence is to reread all the RNS's, announcements and annual reports where not one date has ever been met and with no clarifications as to what has happened, let alone all the deliberately misleading information contained therein. It certainly doesn't appear to be the workings of a well oiled professional company with shareholders value in mind does it.
And just as a reminder:
Shareholder value is the value given to stockholders in a company based on the firm's ability to sustain and grow profits over time.
In the last 9 years since when the last divi was made, shareholders have seen nothing but absolute destruction to their investment, no ?
