You appear to be questioning my integrity Writer. That's OK - your right entirely to have an opinion. I don't want to get into a tit for tat but I have 40 years experience in the sales arena so I know a bit about the sales process.
Also, I'm not completely stupid - I understand that sales start off in a pipeline. It's just that I don't want to hear about it until it is signed, sealed and delivered. If I had a dollar for every time a salesperson (usually one who is struggling) told me that they had a big deal in the pipeline, and nothing eventuated, then I would be far richer than I am now.
You may well be right that these pipeline deals will come to fruition - just don't tell me about them until they happen.
What do you think will happen to the sp if for some reason they don't come off? I believe in the adage of keeping your mouth shut until the deal is done.

You dont have to constantly report to thousands of shareholders. Your expectations running some corner shop has no relevance to a listed company yet you treat it like for like.
I question the claim at the start of your second paragraph.
