Right now I have no stock in either company but I have been in and out of their registers in the past because I like both businesses. I have met both Geoff Cleaves and Rob Broomfield. Solid, ethical guys. Managers that focus on running the business not talking up the stock, despite some of the wilder accusations being made here by conspiracy theorists. I have not met Chris Fergus but he has a good reputation in the industry and would not have joined this team if he did not think there was a huge amount of growth potential. Which I agree with.

When I heard about this merger it seemed like a pretty good idea to me. MSP supporters are just getting upset by the idea of a stock code change? Take a look at the customer and reseller lists of both companies, and the synergy between them. Not just in back office but product line, sales force. I was at a security industry trade show in California last year and FFT had a big presence and only 1 competitor. Maxsec was smaller booth, couple of dozen competitors. Crowded part of the market, FFT are in a league of their own. AIUI most FFT installations are classified, they can't exactly make announcements. You think those facilities will stop running underground fiber because of some trolls on HotCopper trying to talk a stock down to get more shares in the merger?

Do your due diligence, look at the customer announcements from both businesses. AVA has a lot of potential, their clients have a lot of high-end security needs. FFT looks to me like they would be in a strong position when the Trump wall gets the green light. The combined business has decent size revenues, can play off the strengths of management and sales teams, and can leverage the existing high end security customers of all three companies.
