When an announcement is made to the market on the basis that it constitutes inside information and is therefore price sensitive I can never understand why it is not a clear requirement to keep the market updated on the progress of whatever has been announced.
Let's just take one example - Niftylift.
To anyone capable of independent thought (so not everyone...) it was blindingly obvious that the contract had not been fulfilled yet we have absolutely no clue (tomorrow maybe?) as to whether the relationship is alive or dead in the water. Seems pretty clear to me that the status of such contracts is absolutely fundamental to anyone trying to establish a case for investment, but we are completely in the dark.
It's all very well for the likes of Peel Hunt to continually bleat on about the ongoing death of the smallcap market, but to say their practices don't help is a massive understatement. Their fantastical/ridiculous target prices which are clearly based on minimal, if any meaningful, research are one thing but at least giving existing and prospective investors some chance of assessing the state of things by keeping information current might be a decent starting point.
