That's a legitimate reason for going into suspension. Because it isn't ready to reveal the details which are still being negotiated.
They company has explained this in an ann. WP has explained it in a twitter reply.
Still you're agitating as if what they're doing is somehow lacking in legitimacy.
The company directors have information that we don't. Obviously, obviously!
They took a brave series of decisions. Obviously obviously these were a gamble and this is because this is a speculative stock with a lot of unknowns.
They missed targets. Why you imagine I or anyone else is happy about this, least of all the CEO and Board is weird.
But I have tried to understand what obstacles they've faced. These include resistance by the medical profession in the face of a superior product. This is an irrational result. But trying to understand why is preferable to constant griping.
Or assuming the worst from company directors. I agree one has jumped ship and basically left under a cloud. This is unfortunate but it's not necessarily part of a conspiracy.
Griping ad nauseum won't change any of the past, nor the future.
But it might result in people selling out of capitulation once the dust finally settles.
This is not a desirable outcome. Nor was it desirable that the bloodletting went on in here before the company went into suspension. Basically shooting themselves in the foot as the SP tanked.
Then people said: oh look....they should have gone into suspension earlier! They should have saved us from ourselves! Well suspension requests don't get processed immediately.
Now people saying Oh, they shouldn't be in suspension so long.
Where is the comprehension of a complex and fluid situation?
In the ideal world, we should be rational and not emotional about our investments. I try to do this but don't succeed in all cases. I can certainly see the need in relation to AHZ.
I'm not talking in absolutes. Yes, suspensions are necessary from time to time, but ridiculously long suspensions are flouting the rules, in my opinion. And every company is prey to gossip and innuendo - that's the 'voting machine' part of the market that sets short-term prices.
The company has explained precious little in their very, very limited communication. WP's Twitter replies explain even less (it was a LinkedIn PM though, wasn't it? He's gone full ghost on Twitter since July 10).
I'm agitating because I
do believe what they're doing lacks legitimacy. I
do believe that you can't just stay in suspension indefinitely while you wait for good news to come or bad news to blow over or deals to be done or partners to be found or whatever this turns out to be. You're sitting on people's money. You can't just clam up with no explanation and expect everyone to be cool with that.
I get what you're saying, really I do. Look at all facts, consider all sides, don't stir the pot when you've got no real idea what's in it. And you're right, of course. Doesn't stop me from being angry and having an opinion though.
