succesfully swimming against the tide, page-31

Actually there is a precedent here - in the entertainment industry, they say producers should not use their own money to back a show - for good reasons - if they are not successful shows they could go under!

In business, especially something with quite high risks, it probably makes sense to be a moderate investor - rather than go overboard. The exception is the "sure-thing"! Prudence in management and prudence in investment might be the hallmark of a reasonable director. It all depends on the circumstances, of course!

If one director had to sell, for their own personal reasons, that is little reason to read something adverse in that activity. As usual its up to DYOR to figure out if it means anything at all.
