Ann: Appendix 3Y - Andrew Abercrombie, page-15

andrew buying more does raise confidnce for us, I fear the mkt as usual wont like it.

It merely tightens his grip.

Its a sticky point that i have stressed for a while, would rather see him spread the luv and do the reverse. Any "partner" would see it as a roadblock and possible thorn in their side, he will always have a seat so to speak and they might not want that.....

cant believe we are lower now than announcement day.....our numbers speak for themselves and yet mr mkt has gone limp...we need to scream growth vs "do an AMP" and say "we are open for offers" which translates into "we are stuck for strategy" so need a rescuer to guide us on our way...almost like a miner not knowing where to target the next drill....well, pay a geo and do some prospecting! I fear that mrs pin-up lacks a strategic lense that well, frankly, is the achilles' heel of many marketing heads who can only drive the existing products on the same set of wheels.
