Bad close but not unexpected, page-42

You are obsessed with this whole communication angle. They haven't closed deals so there is nothing really to say. I think you can assume they are trying to close deals. What do you want them to say! We are trying to close deals but haven't yet. Stopped looking at your portfolio valuation and panicking as it drops. If you are long term then let them run the company and update you when something good or bad happens. If you feel it's all too slow in happening then that's maybe a reason for you to sell as the reality of the story mightn't match the executive selling of the story. But for goodness sake stop the whining.
