Dab.
With this type of CEO you need a really good chairman and cfo, the two old ones were just useless - in particular the old cfo who has presided over a fall from 80p to 10p where he went aferwards, got the boot with a tonne of options. He should never be allowed near a public company and should be stripped of his letters.
Do sense the new chair and cfo have instilled some business and financial discipline on the CEO and stopped his flights of fancy - next accounts key to seeing this discipline but unfortunately a lot of damage has been done.
Really don't get the sponsorship of this event in amongst the absolute behemoths whose $ms spent of these events is just a few percent of their marketing budgets. They have the luxury to be able to do the thought leadership / general brand presence stuff without being near the breadline.
So why do it ?
Yes you get a speaking slot but this will be one of many and delegates pick and choose. Also, at this level, D L is the worst technical and sales communicator I have seen.
Product announcement / contract ? Firstly you only do this if you have a market ready product not one that required further nre. Tarana, no as they do this. something leftfield perhaps under very strict NDA?
The days of me thinking DL had a cunning master plan mapped out are long gone. But hope the pricing of the options was based on something close to signing outside tarana / uep2025.
He really is just an arrogant, deluded idiot.
So where does he think he'd get the money for designing and manufacturing ventilators, writing off £10m plus, paying his salary ? it is very difficult raising capital in the private markets, zero with his track record.

A closed period doesnt prevent any news being issued, it fact this must actively be released.
It just stops Directors etc trading on better / worse results than market expectations, they still cannot trade on inside information
Castle.
Just so, so much misunderstanding here.
- gross cash irrelevant, look at net
- no the options are not bought at 1.5p so no cash inflow to ENET, they are FOC
- when I said there are no price targets for ENET and what you are looking at a 100% pile of rubbish why continue to believe and repeat it
The ratio of rns for options / cash raises continues to be 100x rns with real news on contracts.
Companies with world beating technology are constantly taking business, are subject to takeover interest....
Castle.
Sites such as simplywallst are worse than useless.
I think you are looking at 90 bags not 9 if you believe the brilliant algorithms in the background.
There are zero analysts following ENET (as every other AIM company), let alone 5.

Will be interesting to see level of govn regulation, and how this impacts market opportunity.
Tricky - would love to get to 25p - and yes I do hold a drudge with individuals who blatantly lie (DL you know my email if your lawyer wants an exchange).
It would be at 25p if DL / MR had executed against what they stated was 100% baked in with upside on top just this time last year.
The past isnt the past , otherwise we wouldnt lock people in prison. It shows a pattern of behaviour which is the best we have of looking to the future.
From many years quizzing sales people on deals of a half billion dollar pipeline, there are people who deliver time after time and understand their partners / customers, end customers, markets, competition, external factors in forensic detail and mitigate. Then there are the DLs of the world "at the finish line" / "no brainer" / "we know more than anyone about telecoms" / "we are working with cisco / juniper" / "warrant price will be easily met" who dont do detail and just dont change.
Do some basic research - read the old annual reports / rnss.
ETH.
The pundits are those who haven't followed ENET and DLs promises of the rainbow just, just around the corner for years.
The three H2 orders last year were panic orders protecting their customer base not endorsements.
"When they come out of tsp there will be orders, the new vp sales will come with deals, the new non exec will come with deals".
Unfortunately as you and me know from the four contracts post ipo from three customers all have been cancelled.
By the way.
Having worked in both Nasdaq / NYSE listed tech companies with their massive focus on quarterly earning, as well as one of the largest software companies backed by two private equity companies - being private is currently best for Tarana as their are fewer short term targets.
Tarana is not a start up, it already has a level of "volume" sales.
No this is not the case in the US as it is in the UK. It already has very supportive private equity investment and if floated would not have any problem with a listing.
Unlike most US tech which is asset light and higher margin, Tarana may require cash not for R&D splurges and sales / marketing overhead, but for working capital.
I think Tarana will wait for a 2-4 really exceptional quarters before listing.
Tricky,
If only life, and business, were that simple.
Difference between net and gross margin businesses. This business model is great if you've got a great capital allocation model which picks winners, balance sheet / cash flow aligned to enable this across different royalty baring products in the portfolio at different development / harvesting stages.
Not so great if you carry on spending millions of $ year after year where your initial capital allocation has proven to be very poor.
Hull.
Posters are consistently overestimating the influence of a non exec no matter how good. They don't close deals.
Tevet still seems really thinly spread. All depends on the state and sales stages of the pipeline when he joined.
Still seem some way away from even one revenue stream which gives steady multi m $ annual revenue like tarana.
