The market never lies, even when boards refuse to listen. I've been watching the fascinating disconnect between Energy Transition Minerals' (ETM) promotional efforts and their actual market performance with growing concern.The numbers tell a sobering story. ETM's share price has plummeted 23.61% over just ten trading days, including a 6.78% drop on May 9th alone. This collapse isn't happening in a vacuum – it's occurring precisely during the company's investor promotion campaigns in Singapore and Australia.
What's particularly troubling is the timing.A clear sell signal emerged immediately following their April investor events, triggering a 27.63% decline that shows no signs of bottoming out. When your stock tanks after you finish explaining why investors should buy it, something fundamental is broken in your narrative.The market is sending ETM's board an unmistakable message. Are they listening?When Promotion Collides With RealityProfessional analysts have now downgraded ETM from merely "Sell" to a more decisive "Strong Sell" rating. Technical indicators show deteriorating market trust across multiple metrics.
The verdict from professionals is clear: this isn't a temporary dip but a structural problem.I see three possibilities explaining this disconnect:
1. Information asymmetry – The board knows something negative that investors are gradually discovering.
2. Credibility deficit – The market simply doesn't believe ETM's projections or timeline.
3. Strategic misalignment – ETM's focus doesn't match what the market values in the current environment.

The third option seems most likely. ETM positions itself within the critical minerals and energy transition space, which should theoretically attract strong investor interest. That it's failing to do so suggests their specific approach lacks market confidence.What Happens Next?If ETM's board continues ignoring market signals, I anticipate three developments:
- First, institutional investors will continue their exodus, leaving primarily retail holders who may have stronger emotional attachments to their positions.
- Second, the company will face increasing pressure to dramatically revise its strategic approach or leadership team.
- Third, without course correction, ETM risks entering a negative feedback loop where declining share price restricts their financing options, limiting operational capabilities and further eroding investor confidence.

=> The solution isn't more roadshows with the same message. What ETM needs is a fundamental reassessment of their value proposition and a willingness to directly address the market's concerns rather than talking past them.The market is speaking clearly.
The question remains whether ETM's leadership is ready to listen.

You offer only criticism with no concrete suggestions.
The problem is not that the company is not listening to the market (How do you know it isn't?).
It is that it faces political issues, both local and external.
So, Mr Einstein, tell us how the company should "change course."
