Sometimes i think the whole issue with aim is the way they get huge renumeration packets relative to privately owned companies for the senior staff for dismal performance.We all know that with 'innovative' products and research costs, things can cost more than perhaps some other privately owned companies operating in more traditional sectors.
However, surely elsewhere these lot would have failed performance reviews numerous times and wouldn't be so heartily rewarded for not meeting them (nevermind revenue and profit targets longerterm)!We would have attracted activist investors, who could see the innate ip value agitating for change, if we were main market with a serious market cap by now!
Unfortunately we are the problem, 'lending' them our money so easily and often and we can't do anything about it.A bit like Man U fans and the Glazers!Aim needs some sort of reform, which doesn't have to increase the listing or maintenance fees of a listing much afaik (like a regular pi voted onto the board to provide some oversight); which we all know will never happen as the nomads, brokers, etc.. are all happy with the fees they get and the arrangements so far.Anyway rant over.
