You hire a partnership expert when you are looking for partners, which may indicate that they haven't found one yet - and it's an announcement to perhaps soften any future announcements that may not be perceived as positive - just thinking out loud. As you said Makattack, sometimes the market is a little slow to interpret exactly what is going on. It's all speculation until they tell us and we know for a fact what is going on based on clear announcements and not ones that are a little cryptic - but I guess that's half the fun too........
