Mfm, agree with much of that and while it doesn't really matter who said it I find it strange that the blame is always laid at LR's door when it was indeed MC. It's also worth noting that they presented at the analysts event together and both attended EMEA. Anyway they obviously liaise on RNS comments so that they don't overlap and duplicate so joint responsibility is perhaps fairer. Where I disagree with you a little is on 'selling' Toral to institutions, certainly if LR was slickest salesman on the planet it wouldn't do any harm but I fear that the lack of results can't just be put down to some failure of style or inability to 'excite' institutional analysts. They won't give a **** about that IMO, they don't even need to like the man - they won't be investing impulsively but crunching the data and I believe we need to dig much deeper to understand why, to date, no new institutions want a piece of us. I put some thoughts forward earlier so won't repeat but I just don't think its credible to believe that the problem is purely down to a failure of presentation or salesmanship.
