RE: The new CEO2 May 2024 07:58
I feel one of the main issues that has held the share price down both currently and even more historically (remember even in strong markets ORR underperformed) has been the BOD's lack of understanding of the City, brokers and links to High Net Worth investors.
In the good old days, Stratex was cash rich, they had circa £30m in the bank at one point, when Tim Livesey took the reigns there was only around £2m left when it ran out they went cap in hand to a bucket shop broker with no understanding of the consequences, their ability under the regime of TL & BS to raise cash has been poor for shareholders, their timing has also been woeful.
Having looked at the new CEO one stand out is his experience in financial markets, clearly he has contacts, I think that will be exceptionally important moving forward, he will also understand the shenanigans of what goes on in a negative way behind the scenes concerning AIM, such as shorting/forward selling etc.
I very much doubt we will ever see a deal with Lanstead again as a result of his appointment.
In all I think the appointment will be extremely beneficial to ORR and its shareholders, I struggle to understand why the shares fell yesterday as a result of the news.
