I have appreciated all the feedback provided regarding my discussion piece earlier in the week (about being more aggressive in signing up babies), its been really educational and convinced me that my now small investment in A2M is the right one. Over the last seven years I have had real highs and lows and learnt a great deal about the stock market, there is no doubt that it would have been less stressful (& more profitable) for me to put my investment in A2M into my mortgage. But I still believe in the mission if not the way the management team have managed things.

Can I make a request? Can we all be nice to one another (aside from the Leons out there)? Can we target our efforts to getting management to do the right thing? If that's writing to A2M through emails, direct to the Chair or if you see David walking down the street ..... they need to do more. The essence of my email was that A2M need to be more aggressive in general, whether that's through communication, managing the business or how it deals with Instos. The fact is that this money is ours, not theirs. I want more effort.

Do we think that the execs at Nestle are thinking about all the fluffy things that A2M have done, (some good (& why I am invested in A2M) and some down right crazy (like the away day to China for most of the A2M team), they aren't, I have worked for Nestle as a consultant and I can tell you they are far from shrinking violets. The strategic partnership with Synlait is a good example of us probably being led by Lawyers and we need to communicate more not about profits and the headwind they face, but about new developments, wins, diversification and have someone who is an advocate for the Retail Shareholders and has a plan to help us and the share price. This stock is under valued, and whilst many on here say its not managements job to look after shareholders, it absolutely is ... ALL shareholders.

So, I ask you all again .... lets make 2025 the year of getting on the management teams case, the year of writing to the Chair and the year David picks up the phone to Jayne and asks her what she saw and wanted to do. Dont waste your time on here arguing. Remember A2M lost its way, probably committed some type of creative accounting / reporting ..... they absolutely do owe loyal and committed Shareholders (owners) more effort, more aggression and better returns.

Have a nice day now ......
