RE: Meatable aquires new IP and Jim Mellon article21 Aug 2025 11:40
The article works as soft PR and paints an optimistic picture and smooth narrative for retail investors, but it doesn’t address any issues weighing on the ANIC stock:
– Where is management execution — e.g. on confirming a permanent CEO, winning institutional investors back, or telling what action in their control management took, in order to Proactively help Liberation Biolab, that led to countable outcomes.
– Why the lack of transparency on a regular basis? In the RNS (24 Sept 2024) they promised to “ensure investors see the value…” Yet there’s still no clarity on PR spend, strategy, or actual goals. What we see instead is a low-engagement LinkedIn page and self-serving articles.
– What’s the actual plan to mitigate political risk? The article (and Jim/Agronomics) simply keeps dismissing these headwinds as a masquerade instead of explaining how they intend to respond.
A very similar piece just ran on Yahoo — same rhetoric, lots of words and “hero” storytelling, but no data and no accountability. If this is where the PR budget (our shareholder money) goes… nevermind. Publishing two self-soothing articles while the permanent CEO remains unconfirmed is, frankly, odd.
Optimism is fine, but unless the board matches rhetoric with delivery, these pieces risk eroding credibility further with serious capital. And it raises the uncomfortable question: are shareholder funds being used to build long-term value — or just to polish the narrative?
