RE: Bond's reputation27 Nov 2021 10:01
athansius, AFC’s wording ‘expects to announce multiple new system orders’ leaves me feeling a tad perplexed. Bond either knew orders were waiting to be signed, or he was hoping for orders but nothing had actually been agreed. Using the term ‘expects’ can be taken either way and could leave him some wriggle room, but it shouldn’t. My opinion, but to dangle the carrot of ‘order book’ and ‘fifty qualified enquiries, the majority of which have multiple order potential’ is potentially misleading. I accept there are no promises in that statement, but throwing numbers about isn’t too clever. I hope for news because this could be his downfall.
Returning to my first point: His statement indicates an expectation of announcing orders, not an expectation of orders i.e. they have the orders and it’s a question of when that information is released.
I’m still positive, but watching closely.
